The version of java installed for windows and the java referred to by
the environment variable Java_Home are not the same. Netbeans will load
with the JDK referred to in Java_Home and that can be any version you
care to download to your hard-drive and setup.
Very strange!
I have updated both Java and NetBeans as prompted through many versions
for several years and my current versions seem to happily coexist and
have done so throughout each update.
Why is the java.com website saying that Java versions 7 and 8 are
recommended for Windows 10 64-bit computers if there's a "newer" or
"higher" version available? And where might i find that if it's not on
the java.com website?

I am confused and I seem to find myself in a Catch-22 situation. I have just
downloaded and installed the new NetBeans v20 and it warns me that I cannot use
it with Java versions earlier than 11. I go to my Java installation (which
says it is Java v8 update 391), click on check for updates, and it tells me I
have the latest version. I go to the official Java website and it says Version
8 build 391 is their latest release. What is going on here?
I am running Win 10 on Intel hardware. I guess I'll be staying with NetBeans
v18 for now ...
NetBeans hasn't supported Java 8 since NetBeans 12.6!
