Even more to the point, the kernel major version number represented an implicit ABI compatibility for drivers. Windows 4.9 could load drivers for 4.0. 5.2 could load drivers for 5.0. 6.3 could load drivers for 6.0... Windows 10... can still load 6.x drivers, but it bumped the internal version number to 10.0. It is worked around because without an explicit "I'm Windows 10-compatible!" manifest, the OS just lies and reports an internal version of 6.3, along with the ProductName string remaining "Windows 8.1" |
