After spending a decade browsing this site, I finally decided to create an account and ask my own question. So here it is:
This is the liquid code snippet I am working with:
<table data-mce-fragment="1" width="100%">
<td data-mce-fragment="1" style="width: 50%;">{{ 'https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0556/5258/1539/files/windows-logo.png'| img_tag: 'Windows Compatible Operating Systems' }} Windows Compatible Operating Systems<br><br>
{{ product.metafields.custom.windows_compatible_operating_systems_3_0 }}</td>
<td data-mce-fragment="1" style="width: 50%;">{{ 'https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0556/5258/1539/files/mac-logo.png?v=1707807667'| img_tag: 'Mac Compatible Operating Systems' }} Mac Compatible Operating Systems<br><br>
{{ product.metafields.custom.mac_compatible_operating_systems_3_0 }}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The output looks like the image I have attached.
However, there seems to be a vertical misalignment.
My question is, how can I align the windows column to the top with the mac column?
I suspect the discrepancy is due to the longer text in the Mac column.
