@Michael S. -- something more than https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=4500afcc1be7774b3c35ab69a20e36165ca5445a needed for WinSalInstance [1] at this point for 8, 8.1 and 10 builds of Windows?

In https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724834(VS.85).aspx there is the note:

For applications that have been manifested for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Applications not manifested for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 will return the Windows 8 OS version value (6.2). To manifest your applications for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, refer to Targeting your application for Windows.

Guess since we do not manifest for Windows 8.1 or 10 we get 6.2--incorrectly being displayed as 6.19

Markus and Tomaž have been able to get good OS version resolution for the driver details [2]
