Checking for existence of Windows API Functions

Question

Answer 1

I believe MSDN is your best bet for this. Every MSDN page for a function's documentation contains a section in the end which states that which version of Windows support this function.

As an example, Check the doumentation of GetModuleHandle. This contains a section named Requirements under which there is a field Minimum Supported Client and Minimum Supported Server.

However, if you want to check for the existence of functions dynamically, then you can do this through LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress.
