Is the missed api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1.0.dll library the only reason of the Python 3.9 and 3.10 incompatibility with Windows 7? I am asking because I just found replacement of this dll, compatible with Windows 7: https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-win-core-path-HACK, which allows to use Blender (with embedded Python 3.9) in Windows 7 environment.

Then I copied installation of Python 3.10 64-bit from Windows 10 to Windows 7, mentioned above DLL to the root sub-directory of Python 3.10 and was able to run Python. 

So my question is: is it possible to modify just a  Windows installer to allow installation to Windows 7? With warning, additional question, etc.?

Thank you in advance.
