@julianbrost I prefer this PR in favor of the OP-closes ones. And you? |

@LordHepipud What do you -as an expert- think of the concept in general? Of querying Registry instead of relying on the OSes the binary is aware of at compile time? |

It would be nice to have documentation on what this type is used for. I was struggling to wrap my head around this until I found the term type punning about union types :).

Maybe you need another subkey to search for instead of ProductName e.g OsName, otherwise, it's still printing false positive information (Tested on fresh installed Windows 11 Pro).

It's already way better than the master branch though: Platform version: 8 xD

Wait, Windows 11 says "Windows 11" in one key, but "Windows 10" in another? Please could you screen your SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion in RegEdit?

That's the point.👍
another subkey to search for instead of
ProductNamee.gOsName
Unfortunately there's no such thing in Server 2012 R2.
Also, "23H2" and the kernel version make the difference.
