adrynalyne Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) When Microsoft sees an advantage to bumping the major kernel version. Until Windows 10, the major kernel version didn’t even match the OS version so it’s a cosmetic thing really. k.jonathan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekrosoft13 Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Windows 10 kernel bump from windows 8.1 (6.3) to version 10 was also just "cosmetic" But it makes more sense for OS to have some reference actual OS version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted October 18, 2022 MVC Share Posted October 18, 2022 These version number only have relevance internally and with (certain types of) developers. macOS and Darwin numbers don't match, neither do version numbers for Linux distributions and the Linux Kernel.

Windows 11 is just the product name (like XP or Vista), and the kernel is not the whole OS anyway, just a part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
