What about platform.platform() (I don't know what it returns on windows)?

Or perhaps platform.platform(aliased=1)?

The information is useful for debug too, so I will prefer to have the complete information without processing by our side.

• Windows 11 Insider Preview:

print(platform.platform())

print(platform.uname())
uname_result(system='Windows', node='cc-wrk-00', release='10', version='10.0.25174', machine='AMD64'

• Windows Server 2022:

print(platform.platform())
Windows-10-10.0.20344-SP0

print(platform.uname())
uname_result(system='Windows', node='WIN-VTORSP9BI0N', release='10', version='10.0.20344', machine='AMD64')

• Windows Server 2019:
