Windows 10: Windows_NT Listed under OS when Windows 10 is what's actually running

So, as is mentioned, my computer is running Windows 10. When I navigate to Settings>System>About, the "Windows Specifications" list that my PC is running the Windows 10 Home Edition. BUT the weird part is that when I check my system via searching System Information and navigating to Software Environment>Environment Variables it says that my OS "variable" is actually Windows_NT. I never would have realized this but once I attempted to download a game with Microsoft Edge I ran into some issues. Under a windows' x64-bit download it successfully downloaded the setup.exe for said game. but it refused to set up the actual game when I attempted to open the .exe file. The error I was receiving said: "This app can't run on your PC (To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher)". So I messed around with the possibility that it was the .exe file for a while, to which I came up empty-handed. After a while, I decided to look around and found this anomaly within my computer. So realizing that the issue wasn't the file I decided to attempt downloading the file via a different browser. I went over to google chrome and downloaded the same file and successfully installed the game. Maybe they don't have any correlation whatsoever but it's still strange to me that I could not download the game via edge but could with google chrome.
