[Evernow]

New submission from Evernow <danielsuarez369 at protonmail.com>:

Hello.

On Windows 11 the platform module returns Windows 10 instead of Windows 11, same for the sys module. 

Python 3.10.2 (tags/v3.10.2:a58ebcc, Jan 17 2022, 14:12:15) [MSC v.1929 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import platform
>>> platform.release()
'10'
>>> import sys
>>> sys.getwindowsversion().platform_version
(10, 0, 22000)
