It contains patched source files from the qtbase module, along with some additional required files. To apply the backport, simply copy the contents of the src folder into your qtbase/src directory, replacing the existing files.
 
 This approach builds upon the methodology discussed in this forum [thread](https://forum.qt.io/topic/133002/qt-creator-6-0-1-and-qt-6-2-2-running-on-windows-7/60) but offers significant enhancements, including important fallbacks to the default Qt 6 behavior when running on newer versions of Windows.
 
 You have two options for compiling Qt:
 
 - Compile it yourself using your preferred compiler and build options.
-- Use our [compile_win.pl](https://github.com/crystalidea/qt-build-tools/tree/master/6.8.0) build script, which utilizes Visual C++ 2022 and includes OpenSSL 3.0.13 statically linked.

 Alternatively, you can download our [prebuild Qt dlls](https://github.com/crystalidea/qt6windows7/releases), which also include the Qt Designer binary for demonstration purposes.
