Obtaining the true Windows version is tricky starting with
Windows 8.
Be careful when using GetVersionEx, it's deprecated.
VerifyVersionInfo is more reliable, but it will not return a
version greater than Windows 8 if your application does not
embed a specific manifest. The dirty way to obtain the true
Windows version without embedding a manifest, it's to check for
the availability of specific functions.
Another way is to parse HLKM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Product Name.
And finally NetServerGetInfo is your best bet, but it's not
guaranteed to work in the future version of Windows.
What I really care about is if it works in current versions.
Thanks though, I'll see which solution fits the best to my
project.
