  • A number of places in the registry on a Windows 11 device will still reference Windows 10. For example:
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
    Name: ProductName

    I found that when you are looking at the devices list, you may see Windows 10 referenced, but when opening the concerned device entry, you will see Windows 11 shows on the left-hand pane.

  • I saw your post about Sophos Central showing Windows 10 on Windows 11 devices. That's definitely a weird issue. Have you tried looking for a solution on Reddit? I've found Reddit to be a treasure trove of info and helpful community members.I remember seeing a thread on Reddit about windows keys, and it could be worth checking out if you haven't already. Maybe someone has had a similar issue and found a fix. Just check out subs with Reddit windows keys. I always find some helpful tips there. People always post updates if they have discovered something new.
