How to resolve this error in Windows 8?

[MarkPearl]

I am using Windows 8 Pro - and I am still getting a message "Qt: Untested Windows version 6.2 detected!" when running a console application. Is there any way to get past this warning?

It is a warning not a fatal error: you get "past this warning" by default and Qt assumes it is a generic NT-based Windows. You will receive this warning from versions of Qt that predate Windows 8 recognition going into QSysInfo::windowsVersion() (24 May 2012). Use a more recent Qt.

Qt 4.8.4 and Qt5.x recognise Windows 8.
