Not from here, no. See https://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html

There are also the https://nuwen.net/mingw.html and
https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc/download/ projects, but they both
use outdated versions of GCC at the moment.

Wrong mailing list; but anyway, for bleeding-edge updates, with other well managed packages, we 
generally recommend https://www.msys2.org/.

Since you mentioned windows 7 specifically, some of the suggestions 
aren't really appropriate. I don't believe msys2 supports windows 7 
anymore.

I'm also not the biggest fan of msys2, I think it brings in way too much 
complexity for what it is. It's useful if you would like to obtain some 
hard to build deps like Qt, or require the tooling necessary to run 
autotools configure scripts. But most programmers (especially beginners) 
don't really have a need for this.

My suggestion is w64devkit. It is a single zip to extract, and it can 
work as far back as windows xp.
https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/releases/latest

Simply download and extract the latest zip here, and start the 
"w64devkit.exe" contained. It starts a shell with gcc & friends already 
present in your PATH, and you can begin compiling code in under 5 
minutes.

Nobody mentioned Windows 7... maybe you mistook the question mark? :|

MSYS2 itself no longer supports Windows 7, but it's always possible to cross-compile from a 
supported system to Windows 7, or something even older like Windows XP or 2000. If you encounter an 
issue, please let me know.

You're right, I was reading this on my phone.

Sorry for the confusion.

My points about the complexity of msys2 still apply to me though, and 
that's why I avoid it. I simply have no need for it, and I don't think 
most people do. It is a very valuable service in certain scenarios, I 
just don't think many of them apply to beginners who are asking this sort 
of question.
It's getting far off-topic for the list though, so I'll end it here.
