Deno upgrade fails on Windows 7

I don't know if Windows 7 is still supported, but I cannot install Deno 1.8.0 on my Windows 7 machine, while it works fine on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, ElementaryOS 5.1 Hera and PopOS 20.10 operating systems. For me it is not a big deal, because I don't like using Windows that much, but as a teacher, many of my students still use Windows 7 or even Vista, so knowing if something is supposed to work on their machines is an important part of getting them into the Deno universe.

Obs: Deno 1.7.5 works fine, and I believe it has something to do with the WebGPU API in the new 1.8.0 version, which may be missing some DLL file or something.

Actually it is not a duplicate of [denoland/deno#9608], because 1.7.5 works fine here, and 1.8.0 doesn't, while on 9608 he cannot go from 1.7.0 to 1.7.5, and both error codes are different.

The same problem, but running with RUST_BACKTRACE = 'full', in case it helps.

$Env:RUST_BACKTRACE='full'

The fundamental problem is the we don't target and test on Windows 7. That it works is coincidence versus intent.

So any issue that happens on a Windows 7 machine will be marked as a duplicate of [denoland/deno#9608]?
