Git-for-windows 2.47.1 x86_64 does not work on windows 7 (GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime not found in dll kernel32.dll)

Git-for-windows 2.47.1 x86_64 does not work on windows 7 (git bash cannot be started), possibly due to an error in mintty, reported there (GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime not found in dll kernel32.dll), just so you are aware.

mintty/mintty#1298

Downgrading to 2.46 and it works again:

If you don't want to run on windows 7

Git for Windows for Windows v2.47 drops support for Windows 7 and for Windows 8, as announced previously.

then maybe just don't allow installation or create an error upon install?

The website should not say windows 7 SP 1 is supported than.
