Windows 11 version not correctly show in FreeCAD Help info

Post by BartR »

Dear

in this topic https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 97#p645597
@onekk suggested me to follow a link end to post here the results, since my FreeCAD is not getting the correct Windows Version

Indeed here the report form FreeCAD:

Code: Select all

OS: Windows 10 Version 2009
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.1.29410 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-20
Hash: f5d13554ecc7a456fb6e970568ae5c74ba727563
Python 3.8.10, Qt 5.15.2, Coin 4.0.1, Vtk 8.2.0, OCC 7.6.3
Locale: English/United States (en_US)
Installed mods: 
  * 3D_Printing_Tools
  * ArchTextures
  * CADExchanger
  * CurvedShapes 1.0.4
  * Curves 0.6.1
  * fasteners 0.4.24
  * fcgear
  * InventorLoader 1.3.0
  * kicadStepUpMod 10.16.5
  * pcb
  * POV-Ray-Rendering
  * Render 2022.3.0
  * ThreadProfile 1.84.0
  * WebTools
But my Windows is the 11 Pro 64bit, 21H2 build 22000.1281

Now, following the python instructions suggested into the link in the topic, I get the following results:

Code: Select all

>>> import platform
>>> print(platform.system())
Windows
>>> print(platform.release())
10
>>> print(platform.version())
10.0.22000
>>> print(platform.platform())
Windows-10-10.0.22000-SP0
>>> print(platform.win32_ver())
('10', '10.0.22000', 'SP0', 'Multiprocessor Free')

Indeed, in my case it also shows Windows 10 as operating system even when I'm using FreeCAD on Windows 11.

This is expected behaviour. You don't have Windows 11, nobody does. You have Windows 10 with build number > 22000, which is marketed as Windows 11. (See the link below)
