    Windows 11 is technically still Windows 10, if you go by the actual version reported by the systeminfo command. For example, my fully updated Windows 11 Pro VM reports itself as OS Version: 10.0.22631, so there might still be something to the idea that “Windows 10 is the last version” but the marketing and branding teams didn’t stay on the same message.

      That version number is pretty meaningless though. If you look at version numbers, vista, 7 and 8 were all 6.x. I’m pretty sure they do numbering based on some underlying architecture feature, and when it changes enough they change the major version number.
