Incorrect Operating System string for Windows 11

[ddasutein]

Hey everyone!

Windows 11 is available for the general public as of October 5, 2021. There is no compatibility issues given that this a browser extension. So if you are coming from Windows 10, nothing should change. However, there is a known issue with the way the extension queries the Windows version. If you go to About > System Information > Operating System in the extension options, you may notice that even on Windows 11, it still reports as Windows 10. This is because the extension queries this data by checking the user agent provided by the Edge or Google Chrome browser. Unfortunately, Microsoft didn't bother changing the NT version 10.0 to something like 10.1 or 11.0 for Windows 11. As a result, the extension thinks it is still running Windows 10.

Good news is that Microsoft has provided some new APIs that would be able detect if the browser is running on Windows 10 or 11. I will be implementing this in a future release.

This is running on a Windows 11 system and now the extension is reporting the correct operating system version. Also the browser and it's version will now be included. Though this won't be part of the master branch or upcoming release just yet as i still need to do additional validation. For the mean time, this will part of the fix-os-query branch while this part of the development is ongoing. Once I've validated this new implementation, it will be included in a future release.

This is already part of the build-release branch and is currently in testing
