README: update minimum windows version and clarify
The README says Windows 7 and up, but the reality is that Windows
development is not done with 7 in mind and there are several known
issues that nobody is going to fix. Change this to 10 to reflect
reality. Also add a small paragraph explaining that we don't
intentionally break old systems, but don't expect them to always work.
Also change OSX to macOS.
