I have an obsolete 32-bit Windows 7 preinstalled on a single-core 
Atom 1.66GHz netbook with 1GB RAM collecting dust somewhere in my 
closet. So I'm surely in a somewhat better position than you when 
it comes to having access to machines running Windows. But it's 
hardly suitable for developing any modern software on it 
nowadays. Github CI jobs support Windows and that's what I'm 
realistically using for testing my DUB packages on this platform.

Thanks for giving the Windows users this hint. It's much better 
than the radio silence.
