What do you gain by this? What does it bring to compile this code
with a higher _WIN32_WINNT value?
It's general good practice. In another file I modified I did not
understand why I was still getting the old APIs when I was selecting
Win10. So I modified the places where the value is enforced. It's future
proof when editing files.
When building for UWP it's particularly important as a lot of APIs may
be hidden if you use the proper values and they are hidden because you
shouldn't use them. Forcing to use them when they shouldn't will lead to
apps that don't run.
