History of getWindowsVersion

== Syntax ==

int getWindowsVersion()

== Return ==

Returns an integer code representing the Windows version - see example below.

Windows 7 - 11 detection is only available in FilterMeister 1.0.9h (Dec 2021) and newer.

== Description ==

Detects the Windows version the host graphics application thinks it is running on. This could differ from the version of Windows that the user actually has if the host application is running in a compatibility mode, or if the application does not have the appropriate manifest for the newer Windows version.

== Example ==

int n = getWindowsVersion();

switch (n) {
