According to the dev Michal Brzozowski:
"I think Steam no longer supports older Windows versions, that's why I put 10 as the minimum requirement. If KeeperRL ran fine on your Win 8 machine then it should continue to do so. "

Then, a couple of users state that they were able to run KeeperRL on win7 and win8. One of them was using a GOG version. However, they had some issues with the starting loading time being too long and/or the game being unresponsive during the initial load.
I think this information is important as many GOG users are fans of old gaming and tend to have computers with old software. I wonder if more GOG games stated as "Minimum Requirements: Win 10" could also be run on older versions of Windows.
