Description (last modified by )
r15869 added detection for Windows 10, which at that time was version 6.4. Microsoft has since changed their scheme and will use 10.0 as the version number. However, with the latest Insider Preview, the CurrentVersion registry key we use lists "6.3" or Windows 8.1. I don't yet know if this is a bug or intentional.
At any rate, it's not recommended by MS to detect versions through the registry, they suggest either using the new version helpers API (not included in the vc120_xp toolset) or the methods described in this article.
