I'd like to upgrade our 32-bit Windows buildbot from XP to 8.1 in the near future. Aside from the obvious EOL issue it's difficult to use automated management and packaging tools like Puppet and Chocolatey under XP. Upgrading would also let us build releases using Visual C++ 2012 and later, assuming we set up XP targeting correctly[1].
However, we still have lots of users on XP and need to make sure we remain compatible for the time being. Is there a way to test an application for XP compatibility without actually running it under XP? Ideally it would be something that we could add to the automated build system.
