Description

Hi,

This issue serves as a meta issue for Windows 11 related discussions:

Background:

On June 24, 2021, Microsoft introduced Windows 11. This is an enhanced version of Windows 10 with UI tweaks and internal changes.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

To be confirmed (and updated accordingly): Windows 11 is Windows 10 with tweaks, therefore Windows NT kernel (system) version is 10.0. This means NvDA will recognize Windows 11 as Windows 10.

Describe the solution you'd like

Extend winVersion module and friends to recognize Windows 11, preferably as part of or as a follow-up to #12544.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

Windows 10 will be supported for a while, and the overall implementation can change based on system internals.

Thanks.
