Clarification: Command-line parameters

[John Richardson]

Is there a more detailed breakdown of the command-line parameters available?
Specifically: Was looking for a breakdown of “-v:<version>”.

I’ve found the following -v parmeters:
50=Win2K
51=WinXP
52=WinXP-x64
60=WinVista
61=Win7
62=Win8
63=Win8.1
64=Win10 Tech Preview

No versions of Win10, except the Tech Preview.
Also, no servers (2003, 2008, etc…)
The other numbers I tried just read as “Unknown”.
Are there other versions, or is this list complete?

-v sets the virtual windows version. the enumeration looks like this:
