Windows 10 computer detected as running Windows 8.1

I have noticed when looking at the results status from my Win 10 computer that it is listed as running Win 8.1. I have seen others listed as windows 10, so I know it is not a universal issue. I personally wouldn't have any issue with this, but I would still like to see that fixed if it is possible. From what I understand, that might be something that is taken into account when research teams are trouble shooting issues, especially beta WU's. Even if that were not the case, it still would be nice to have that display accurately just for the sake of accuracy and statistics and all. I think I remember seeing this mentioned somewhere, and how to fix it, but after searching for a while I was unable to find anything on it.

If any additional information is needed, just let me know.

Short version: My windows 10 computer is being detected as running windows 8.1 in the results status page. How do I fix this?
