Will Intel support DirectX 12 on legacy Windows 7 platforms?

When considering both the EOL timeline from Microsoft for Windows 7 support and feedback from our community and customers, Intel is continuing to prioritize support for forward-looking operating systems and APIs such as Windows 10, Linux, MacOS, DX12, Vulkan, and Metal.
