Don't use a pre-release, unsupported operating system if you don't want to see warnings about it. It is only a warning though. If you are compiling without QT_FATAL_WARNINGS then your code is failing to build for some other reason.

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.
