Yes. Assuming you don't use something windows 7 specific, like dx10 or dx11, but irrlicht doesn't even support that.

should be able to run it on any windows platform unless you use specific system calls that are only on one platform or don't reach as far back as xp.... can't think of any examples off the top of my head. If you don't use system calls you should be perfectly safe :)
