In this paragraph, the using windows doc page dynamically adjusts the version to the one that's being looked at by the user, however the statement is no longer true for python 3.9 and above as support for vista/7 was dropped

> As specified in PEP 11, a Python release only supports a Windows 
  platform while Microsoft considers the platform under extended 
  support. This means that Python |version| supports Windows Vista 
  and newer. If you require Windows XP support then please install 
  Python 3.4.
