Open your network adapter settings (from Network and Sharing) and disable/uncheck IPv4.
Granted, you will need to make sure that your ISP, modem, and router also support IPv6 and have it enabled and configured properly, but from a Windows OS perspective this should force you to use IPv6.

I am surprised to learn that Windows seems to be ahead of Linux in that respect. Turning off IPv4 to run IPv6-only is something Linux cannot do yet: serverfault.com/q/256811/214507

@kasperd Yes, it's quite strange. But it turns out that MS was an extremely early IPv6 adopter, and this capability goes all the way back to 2008/Vista.

You can either disable IPv4 entirely on your system as has already been proposed, or you can use a plugin specific to your browser(s) to force IPv6 and/or IPv4 connections. For similar testing reasons I use Firefox with the 4or6 plugin installed.
