      Oracle Java 8 version does not turn os.name property into Windows 7 when run in the compatibility mode

      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Compile and run this code on Windows 10, running in compatibility mode
      public class OSN {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
          System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
        }
      }

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Windows 7
      ACTUAL -
      Windows 10

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
