Can this be undefined behavior of GetVersionEx() on Windows 10? (I'm not
able to verify this)


GetVersionEx() has been deprecated since Win8.1 [1]:

And tor still use it [2] on all Windows versions.

Maybe this version of tor is built from source and manifested for
Windows 10 (by auto)? I can't see anything related to 'manifestation' in
Tor's build scripts for Windows, so I guess that official binaries are
not manifested for Win8.1 or Win10 and detect Win10 as 6.2 (Win8).
