Incorrect version of Windows reported during installation

Question
-
I'm using Windows 10.
I would like to get an dev version of MS Dynamics CRM 2016 working on my laptop.
MSDN says that a single machine installation is possible:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj551751(v=nav.90).aspx
The system reqs show that MS Dynamics CRM Server 2016 should work with Windows 10:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd301054(v=nav.90).aspx#NavServerReqs
However!
When I run the installation I get an error message saying: "The computer is running an operating system that Microsoft Dynamics CRM does not support".
If I do a "ver" command on my laptop it (correctly) says my Windows version is 10.0.10586.
BUT, the install error log says "Current OS Version: 6.2.9200" which is clearly wrong.
Hence why the install fails.
Why is the installation reporting an incorrect version of Windows and how do I overcome this so that I can install this dev version of MS Dynamics CRM Server 2016?
Thoughts greatly appreciated...

Hi,
CRM 2016 requires a Windows Server operating system. If you would like to get it running on your laptop setting up a Windows Server VM may be a good option. Alternately you could sign up for a 30 day trial of CRM online if that would suit your needs.

The MSDN articles you have linked to are for Dynamics NAV, which is a different product to Dynamics CRM. The correct software requirements are documented here.
