Our general policy is that Go stops supporting a platform when the vendor stops providing security patches for the platform. We don't actively break old platforms, but we stop testing against them, and we stop rejecting changes that break them, and so they do tend to break in newer versions of Go. I don't think we've discussed when we will stop supporting Windows 7. If you want to stick to an old platform, it's probably best to not upgrade to newer versions of Go.
