Description of the new feature / enhancement

The manifest currently allows for a MinimumOSVersion to distinguish apps which cannot be installed on older versions of the OS. However, there are also some packages (see microsoft/winget-pkgs#62490) which cannot be installed on newer versions of the OS such as Windows 11. This compatibility issue should be able to be placed in the manifest

Proposed technical implementation details

  1. Implement a field in the manifest for fully defining OS version support
  2. Do something with that information

In the ShortDescription field of the manifest in that PR it says:

ShortDescription: Spacedesk Driver Software for Windows PRIMARY PC (server) runs only with Windows 10, windows 8.1 and windows 7.

I didn't validate whether or not it actually ran or not. Either way, the fact still remains that the manifest currently has no concept of MaximumOSVersion

Oh I see that might be description, before Windows 11 was released because even on official website it says that it runs on Windows 10/11 this package in particular does not run on older version than Windows 10. I'll make another PR and fix it.

That's true. Especially windows terminal is annoying on Windows 10 when it show that newer version is available but that version is for Windows 11.
