📄 Description

We recently figured that we can drop support for Windows 7. Coincidentally
AtlasEngine never actually supported Windows 7 properly, because it called
ResizeBuffers with DXGI_SWAP_CHAIN_FLAG_FRAME_LATENCY_WAITABLE_OBJECT
no matter whether the swap chain was created with it enabled.

The new minimally supported version is Windows 8.1.
