As long as it is at least Windows 7 Service Pack 1, we do not have any plan to end the support yet.
The reason why it has to be at least Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is because currently the code signing is moving towards sha256 algorithm.
Prior to Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Microsoft only supports sha1 algorithm.
Some early version of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 does not support sha256, but this can be fixed by installing the following patch:

For those who update their Windows 7 regularly shouldn't have any issue, as Microsoft has prepared this move from last year:
