Install Instructions inadequate #7

Description

@aendie

I use VS2013 since some years now and I tried to follow your instructions to clone codeshow. The steps I followed were:
• open VS2013 and go to the Team Explorer tab (View -> Team Explorer)
• Go to "Local Git Repositories"; hit Clone; enter the codeshow Url; click Update
... the transfer ended prematurely with the instruction "Install 3rd party Git command prompt tools".
• Click on Install; Third-party tools explanation is displayed; click on the Install button
• msysgitVS.exe is downloaded; execute this.
• "Git for Windows (x86)" is displayed; click "Install"
• Prerequisites are displayed; click "I accept"; download proceeds...; click Finish
• Spotlight products are displayed; click Exit
• In VS2013, open "Install 3rd-party tools" ... NOW I see Git Settings (!!)
• Enter name and Email; select download location; enable download of author images; click Update
• expand Clone; enter the codeshow Url; click Clone
• open the repository; click on the .sln file
... and a lovely window opens with four "Windows 8.1 required" messages.

Windows 8.1 as a requirement is not mentioned in your instructions.
I discovered, e.g. in http://html5readiness.com/ that IE10 supports HTML5.
Has no one thought of making the codeshow examples run on Windows 7 upwards?
