  • Ticket #3299 – Description

    initial v1  
    11r15869 added detection for Windows 10, which at that time was version 6.4. Microsoft has since changed [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724832%28v=vs.85%29.aspx 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.
