[FONT=Söhne]It is not possible to change the operating system version that your computer reports to websites or other servers. The operating system version is determined by the software that is installed on your computer, and it cannot be altered or faked.[/FONT]
[FONT=Söhne]If you are experiencing problems with websites or other services that are no longer compatible with Windows 7, the only solution is to upgrade to a newer operating system. Windows 10 is the most current version of Windows, and it is widely supported by websites and other services. Upgrading to Windows 10 will allow you to continue using these services and ensure that your computer is secure and up to date.[/FONT]
[FONT=Söhne]To upgrade to Windows 10, you will need to purchase a copy of the operating system and install it on your computer. You can find more information about upgrading to Windows 10 on the Microsoft website.
I hope this information is helpful for other users.[/FONT]
I'm sorry (not really) but you absolutely know nothing about a layer 7 aspect to the web called an useragent. I deal with useragent strings on a day by day basis with my website and I in fact manipulate my own useragent now in my browser to make it look like Windows 10 and Firefox. Unless the website you visit is pulling other metrics for OS fingerprinting such as via JavaScript (not Java, but could be,) forging the UA in the traditional sense will work at my estimation ~95% of the time. Besides, did you not read the right reply already give by user SIW2? That is just one of many add-ons that can forge the UA.
Couple of things:
1)
This website.
2) Please omit from using fonts and what have you. I use the dark mode theme on this website and I can barley read your writing.
3)Your comment is right up there with all the other crap asinine Windows help responses on that stupid so-called Windows help forum by Microsoft. Every time I come across a post over there I just shake my head and laugh at the complete absurdity.
4) You don't know what you think you know and you should know what you need to know so others will know the unabridged full on truth. You know?
5) Windows 10 is a massive blow hard, cash cow operating system, and unless you trim the fat from that fat f^8#.... well full of crap OS you're not doing yourself any favors as a PC (Personal Computer) enthusiast. It's so bad one of my number one search engine hits on my own website is: "why is Windows 10 a piece of shit?" I kid you not. I've see more traffic from Google come to that one topic of mine it's nice knowing others have the same opinion and I feel somewhat validated. And Windows 11 is even worse than that! It's my belief this all started with 8. That was so bad they released .1 of 8, or 8.1. Vista was a joke as well. Windows XP and 7 are two of the greats in my chapter's long book. Not without issues of their own, but certainly varsity. Though, to this day I'm still partial to XP. It's just worn in the tooth today and to make it work requires more effort than it's worth. Fine OS for other niche things though. I used XP in a Netbook that was on 24/7 monitoring my phone line for spam call filtering. I called it the Kitchen Kiosk.
In conclusion, learn the facts before perpetrating lies, i.e, and I'll paraphrase, A) "No such thing as forging an UA" and B) "Windows 10 is somehow better." No, by in large for a SOHO (Not NY) setup, Zorin OS or a custom Gentoo install would be
1,000 times better.

When I got the free upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on one of my machines I felt completely lost - for about two weeks until it started to make sense and I felt as 'at home' in 10 as I did in 7.
If you really can't get to grips with it then Open Shell can make 10 look like 7.

It's not the aesthetics. I use 10 LTS and Tiny 10 now in VMware. It's the core functionality and telemetry along with other things that turn it into a cluster F%$@ worthy of a barrage of munitions. LOL
And nothing in life is free, nothing. Believe me when I tell you that (or don't, I don't care). Someone or something is paying for it somehow and in someway. Either directly or indirectly. It's massively true for EVERYTHING. It is my belief that in the case of Windows 10 you're the cash cow. To be concise, data in the form of telemetry and analytics is HUGE for capital gains and return on investment...
