Current line: "As of October 2021, the most recent version of Windows for PCs and tablets is Windows 11, version 21H2. The most recent version for embedded devices is Windows 10, version 21H1."

Proposed edit: "As of November 2021, the most recent version of Windows 11 for PCs and Tablets is Windows 11, Version 21H2. The Most recent version of Windows 10 for PCs and Tablets is Windows 10, Version 21H2. The most recent version for embedded devices is Windows 10, version 21H2"

Reasoning: I propose this edit because both Windows 11 and Windows 10 are currently supported versions of Windows, and very few corporate environments would be moving to Windows 10 in the immediate future. It's handy to have the version information for both Windows 10 on PCs as well as Windows 11, rather than assuming that everyone will want to know the latest version of Windows 11 only.

Not done: This page is about Windows software. The lines you want to be changed refer to the latest version of all Windows softwares as a whole, which happens to be Windows 11, version 21H2. The most recent version of Windows 10 can be found on its own page. ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 15:31, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "Windows Anytime Upgrade" from the infobox, as it is discontinued and an upgrade method to an edition of Windows, not a version of Windows. You don't use Anytime Upgrade, for example, to move from Windows Vista to Windows 7, you use it to move from Windows Vista Home Basic to Windows Vista Home Premium. Thank you! 2001:B07:6469:3006:E585:52B:6CD7:DBCF (talk) 13:47, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
