What do you mean with "see"? If you want to have PHP 7.4 active for
Apache you need to tell Apache which version to use. Usually this means
disabling PHP 8.2 and enabling PHP 7.4. I don't know how "Windows 10
XAMPP" handles this but in Linux this is done by removing the symlink to
php8.2-fpm.conf and enabling php7.4-fpm.conf with the following commands
(as root or using sudo):

a2disconf php8.2-fpm
a2enconf php7.4-fpm

Maybe there is a similar configuration file for "Windows 10 XAMPP" as well.
