    But can compile for a target as old as WinXP.

    Only if you have a version of Visual Studios installed that supports WInXP. They started that with VS2012 where you could still target WinXP if and only if you have VS2010 installed; VS 2012 was the first version of VS to use a predecessor's compiler environment to support older platforms.
