WMIC is deprecated in the latest Windows 11 builds #213

HarryGwinnell commented 2 years ago

Attempting to run "npx envinfo" will fail under the latest Windows 11 builds as wmic is deprecated. It has been replaced with Powershell for WMI (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/ps101/07-working-with-wmi?view=powershell-7.2)

I dug into this to see if it's an easy fix. This issue comes from the os-name package, which has added Windows 11 support, but has also introduced a breaking change in moving to an ES Module format. Attempted to bump and migrate but envinfo doesn't support es modules

It's not just Windows 11, wmic was also deprecated in Windows 10 21H1: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/wmic
