Microsoft Office 2019 registry entry question

Question for someone who has MS Office 2019 installed. I don't have it. Office 2016 created this registry entry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Options

When 2019 is installed is the above entry used or is this created: HKEY_CURRENT_USER SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\19.0\Word\Options

I suspect "16.0" but can't verify and need to assist someone and knowing this will be helpful.

The below thread was helpful but did not address this question specifically: How to detect Office 2019 programmatically?

Might be better to ask this in the TechNet forums - it's not truly a programming question... - Cindy Meister
Do you mean social.technet.microsoft.com? I hope I don't insult anyone here but no thanks. I don't find those answers helpful. I can try another forum if needed. - dplaut
That is the forum I meant. Perhaps its quality has changed since last I looked in there, but in my experience that's usually where knowledge about installation defaults, network administration etc. has been present (and what it should cover). - Cindy Meister

Office 2019 are using the 16.0 subkey of standard registry. Nothing changed from 2016 here.
