Compiling a Qt 5 application in Creator on Windows 8 that will run on Windows 7?

I have Windows 8.1, Qt 5.4 MSVC 2013 OpenGL installed, and MSVC 2013.

I want to compile my app so that it will run in Windows 7. I won't have access to a Windows 7 machine for a few days so I'd like to find a recipe to increase the chances that it will "just work". I'm familiar with how to distribute Qt applications (copying the DLLs into the application folder), but that was always a Windows 7 -> Windows 7 deployment.

Are there compiler target flags or something I have to set? Do I need to use MSVC 2012? I installed the Windows 7.1 SDK on my Windows 8.1 machine.

Thanks

It should just work if you supply the dlls right and both are the same archs (32 or 64 bits).
