Description

I noticed that the installer prints "Windows 10" even on a Windows 11 computer, only when using our windows .exe, but when I run it on my own computer it does detect properly.

I then noticed we bundle Python 3.7.7...from 2020.

Likely the older python doesn't properly support Windows 11 detection causing this issue.

It may be worth updating the bundled python version in the installer.

Also, make sure to update the bundled SSL certs.

Research direction

Look at the Windows installer build configuration to find where Python 3.7.7 is bundled. Update the Python version and ensure SSL certificates are current. Test the installer on Windows 11 to verify proper OS detection. Check for any compatibility issues with the newer Python version and the existing patcher code.
