Accessing Windows registry with Qt5

I am currently trying to port a program I wrote in Qt4 to Qt5 which I have just downloaded. The one problem I have ran into is accessing the Windows registry. I did this in a very clean and simple way in Qt4 using a class called QSettings, but it does not appear to exist in Qt5, and from a Google search it seems it was taken out for some reason. I’m wondering if there is a straightforward way to do this in Qt5 or is it a case of using the RegOpenKeyEx(), RegGetValue(), RegSetKeyValue() methods directly? Any info much appreciated!
