With searching in Google and trying to run several official unmodified verions of Notepad++ in virtual machines. Notepad++ come with several plugins enabled, which may stop working before Notepad++ version. Please attention that, the installed version of Internet Explorer may affect other software, which I did not test. The following is what I get.
For Windows 95, refer to these links:
http://www.win3x.org/win3board/viewtopic.php?t=17221https://notepad-plus-plus.narkive.com/6lktixGR/notepad-plus-help-notepad-v4-0-does-not-work-on-win95
I've confirmed that Notepad++ 3.9 runs on Windows 95 RTM/OSR 2.5, and Notepad++ 4.0.1 doesn't (4.0 not found, but I think there's only minor changes). So Notepad++ 3.9 is the latest version for Windows 95.
For Windows NT 4.0, nothing found when searching.
I've confirmed that Notepad++ 4.6 runs on Windows NT 4.0 SP6, and Notepad++ 4.7.1/4.7.2/4.7.3 runs with error of plugin, and Notepad++ 4.7.5 doesn't work. So Notpad++ 4.7.3 is the latest for Windows NT 4 with plugins disabled.
For Windows 98/ME, refer to these links:

I've confirmed that Notepad++ 5.9.6.2 (ANSI) runs Windows 98 SE/ME, and Notepad++ 5.9.8/6.0 (ANSI) runs with error of plugin, and Notepad++ 6.1 doesn't work because no ANSI version available. So Notepad++ 6.0 (ANSI) is the latest for Windows 98/ME with plugins disabled.
For Windows 2000, I've confirmed that Notepad++ 6.5 runs on Windows 2000 SP4, and Notepad++ 6.6 with default plugins runs with error, and Notepad++ 6.7 doesn't work. So Notepad++ 6.6.9 is the latest for Windows 2000 with plugins disabled.

Correct the logic when inserting external lexer's language into language menu,
while inserting external lexer's language into language menu, also search in submenu if compact language menu is used.

Fix#13657, fix#13676, close#13632
The old explorerContextMenuEntryLocal.ini file is no longer used, and
keeping it here causes confusion with people adding pull requests to
update it.
This removes it, along with the .gitattributes file, since it is no
longer needed with the ini file gone.

Fix#13615, close#13616
Commit 5b5c30b0d3 backup current shortcuts file before rewritting it, and gives a warning to users.
However, when a PC installs v8.5.3 (or later version) from scratch (ie. no v8.5.2 or previous version installed), there should be no warning and no backup.
This commit remove unnecessary cases for warning user (and backup shortcuts file).
Enhance #13589 & #13599Close#13609
An enhancement (fff5f9b - it will be in v8.5.3) makes Macro & Run menu completely localizable. However, it will bring a regression and critical bug for all macro recorded by v8.5.2 and previous versions.
In order to remedy this issue, shortcuts.xml will be copied to shortcuts.xml.v8.5.2.backup before being written. So user can recover backup file if they want to back to v8.5.2 or previous version with the old data.
Fix#13589, close#13599
