As stated at https://www.msys2.org/docs/windows_support/ MSYS2 targets Windows 8.1 for mingw-w64 but packages are free to require any Windows version.
Many packages already won't run on anything older than Windows 10 since various compilers and libraries depend on newer APIs (for example, anything that uses Rust).
