When I got Firefox, I had a Win 10 computer. I was able to use Win 11 for several years. Why cannot I have Win 11 instead of Win 10 and its nagging? I asked for the most recent software, which was provided, but it is still for Win 10. Your website said to go to Microsoft if I got it that way instead of Mozilla. That was years ago, and I don't remember which way I first got it. Microsoft just referred me back to Mozilla. I tried to find something in my profile that I could change, but I didn't see that there.

The Firefox 150.0.3 UserAgent or UA on Windows 10 and 11 displays as Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:150.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/150.0

The Windows 11 is basically based on the same NT 10.0 as Windows 10 as to why some sites may think you are using Windows 10. Maybe when Microsoft actually makes a new version of Windows they will do do on a new NT.
