How can you tell the difference programatically between Windows 8 and Windows 10 (from the desktop, not server versions)?

VFP9SP2

According to http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~VFPFunctionOS, it looks
like 8 and 10 return the same values?

Windows 7 Windows 6.01 OS(5) returns "7600" AND OS(11) returns "1"
Windows 7 SP1 Windows 6.01 OS(5) returns "7601" AND OS(11) returns "1"
Windows 8 Dev Preview Windows 6.02 OS(5) returns "8102" AND OS(11)
returns "1"


Windows 8 (Release) Windows 6.02 OS(5) returns "9200" AND OS(11) returns
"1"
Windows 8.1 Windows 6.02 OS(5) returns "9200" (why not 9600?) AND OS(11)
returns "1"
Windows 10 Windows 6.02 OS(5) returns "9200" AND OS(11) returns "1"

Time to make a Win32 API call? Or maybe just calling DOS command "VER"?
