Will you be updating all your programs to work with Windows 10?

Of course :-)

Almost every program already works with 10 as 10 is just a new version but still the same core OS, so just like how the same vista and 7 registry tweaks work on 8, 8.1 an 10 :-)

My Windows Repair will be the one that I will have to add proper support for. All the other programs already work fine with it :-)

Windows 10 is still Windows NT v6. Just happens to be 6.4 (Vista - 6.0, 7 - 6.1, 8 - 6.2 and 8.1 6.3)

Have you tried the new build of Windows 10 yet that just came out. Oh and one other thing. You say Windows 10 is still Windows NT v6. Just happens to be 6.4. I have read that it is 10 now. Can you check on that?

Havent tried the newest yet no.

As for the version in Windows, this has always been a nightmare.

But as of a while back it was suppose to be 6.4

But looks like they will be changing it to 10. Which I need to find out, this is why I dont make updates for 10 yet, because MS is going to be changing things all over the place untill it is released lol.

Note that the latest version of Windows includes the default version lie shim that was present in Windows 8.1. If you have the 8.1 GUID present in the <compatibility> section of the manifest, Windows 10 will report version 6.3 if your application uses the legacy GetVersion(Ex) APIs. Without it or with only older GUIDs, it will report 6.2. To get the version number reported as 10.0 (note this was 6.4 with the original Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9841), you must add another GUID to your manifest:

So when I tested it, it was coming up as 6.4, but looks like as of build #9926 it now reports to my programs as 10.0

That's great. I know you will be on top of it when it goes final and be able to help use Windows 10.
