What value should WINVER be for Windows 10?

Question

In my stdafx.h file I have:

#ifndef WINVER              // Allow use of features specific to Windows 2000 or later.
#define WINVER 0x0501       // Change this to the appropriate value to target other versions of Windows.
#endif

How do I find out what the value should be for Windows 10? I want this to be the minimum supported platform for my MFC project now.

If you want to build using APIs that are available in Windows 10 or later, then you'd use:

#include <winsdkver.h>
#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0A00
#endif
#include <sdkddkver.h>

See Microsoft Docs.

Per the comment, you probably also want to set the linker minimum supported OS to 10.0.
