VS Code building .exe files in Windows 10, how do I change to build for windows 10 compatibility - c++

Question

So I am having trouble building my .exe files in visual studio code for my current windows OS. for some reason, my .exe files, when I run a diagnostic on them, seem to only be compatible for windows 8, not 10.
Using
Processor architecture: AMDx64
system: x64 based PC
VS code version: 1.74.3
When creating a simple "Hello World" application I tried following this tutorial, and it didn't have any problems. It was when I followed the tutorial for importing external libraries that the problems ocured.
I’ve tried importing an external library, and used msys2 to install the files in the bin/include/lib folders for mingw64.
I set my include path to the include folder, and I’ve set my compiler to default. My JSON tasks document appears correct, and when I build the .exe file, it builds successfully… but it only builds an executable file compatible for windows eight
I ran the properties compatibility test, and this is the output I get
What exactly do I need to do in order to change the OS version to make it compatible to run on both the visual studio code terminal, and my system terminal as well?
the following is the output once I ran the build process
Starting build...
