Using the Windows Key + Down Arrow.

Update: If the window is Maximized, it will first go "Un-maximized" then a second Win + Down Arrow will Minimize.

Minimizing single window is not possible via simple shortcut. However, you can use combination of two shortcuts Alt+Space followed by letter N.

Pressing Alt+Space opens the context menu for the current window and the keyboard mapping of the Minimize option is 'n'.
