Note that there's not just one MinGW distribution and version out there. You can check out the exact supported version per Qt release at https://wiki.qt.io/MinGW .

Anyhow, if you install the pre-built Qt binaries via the online installer, the matching MinGW version will automatically be installed for you, and will be registered in Qt Creator so that things just work. There is actually no official way to prevent this.
