Like R  Bemrose suggested  if you are doing Windows 7 specific features  you should look at the Windows   API Code Pack for Microsoft    NET Framework   It contains a CoreHelpers class that let you determine the OS you are currently on  XP and above only  its a requirement for  NET nowaday   It also provide multiple helper methods  For example  suppose that you want to use the jump list of Windows 7  there is a class TaskbarManager that provide a property called IsPlatformSupported and it will return true if you are on Windows 7 and above

These all seem like very complicated answers for a very simple function   public bool IsWindows7         get                 return  Environment OSVersion Version Major    6  amp              Environment OSVersion Version Minor    1

One way   public string GetOSVersion       int  MajorVersion   Environment OSVersion Version Major     switch   MajorVersion        case 5        return  Windows XP       case 6        switch  Environment OSVersion Version Minor            case 0            return  Windows Vista           case 1            return  Windows 7           default            return  Windows Vista  amp  above                 break      default        return  Unknown           Then simply do wrap a select case around the function

The above answers would give me Major version 6 on Windows 10   The solution that I have found to work without adding extra VB libraries was following   var versionString    string Microsoft Win32 Registry LocalMachine OpenSubKey  Software  Microsoft  Windows NT  CurrentVersion    GetValue  productName      I wouldn t consider this the best way to get the version  but the upside this is oneliner no extra libraries  and in my case checking if it contains  10  was good enough

System Environment OSVersion has the information you need for distinguishing most Windows OS major releases  but not all   It consists of three components which map to the following Windows versions    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------                           PlatformID        Major version       Minor version      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------    Windows 95            Win32Windows             4                    0            Windows 98            Win32Windows             4                   10            Windows Me            Win32Windows             4                   90            Windows NT 4 0        Win32NT                  4                    0            Windows 2000          Win32NT                  5                    0            Windows XP            Win32NT                  5                    1            Windows 2003          Win32NT                  5                    2            Windows Vista         Win32NT                  6                    0            Windows 2008          Win32NT                  6                    0            Windows 7             Win32NT                  6                    1            Windows 2008 R2       Win32NT                  6                    1            Windows 8             Win32NT                  6                    2            Windows 8 1           Win32NT                  6                    3           ------------------------------------------------------------------------------    Windows 10            Win32NT                 10                    0           ------------------------------------------------------------------------------    For a library that allows you to get a more complete view of the exact release of Windows that the current execution environment is running in  check out this library   Important note  if your executable assembly manifest doesn t explicitly state that your exe assembly is compatible with Windows 8 1 and Windows 10 0  System Environment OSVersion will return Windows 8 version  which is 6 2  instead of 6 3 and 10 0  Source  here

First solution  To make sure you get the right version with Environment OSVersion you should add an app manifest using Visual Studio and uncomment following supportedOS tags      lt compatibility xmlns  urn schemas-microsoft-com compatibility v1  gt       lt application gt         lt  -- A list of the Windows versions that this application has been tested on            and is designed to work with  Uncomment the appropriate elements            and Windows will automatically select the most compatible environment  -- gt          lt  -- Windows Vista -- gt         lt supportedOS Id   e2011457-1546-43c5-a5fe-008deee3d3f0     gt          lt  -- Windows 7 -- gt         lt supportedOS Id   35138b9a-5d96-4fbd-8e2d-a2440225f93a     gt          lt  -- Windows 8 -- gt         lt supportedOS Id   4a2f28e3-53b9-4441-ba9c-d69d4a4a6e38     gt          lt  -- Windows 8 1 -- gt         lt supportedOS Id   1f676c76-80e1-4239-95bb-83d0f6d0da78     gt          lt  -- Windows 10 -- gt         lt supportedOS Id   8e0f7a12-bfb3-4fe8-b9a5-48fd50a15a9a     gt        lt  application gt     lt  compatibility gt    Then in your code you can use Environment OSVersion like this   var version   System Environment OSVersion  Console WriteLine version     Example  For instance in my machine  Windows 10 0 Build 18362 476  result would be like this which is incorrect   Microsoft Windows NT 6 2 9200 0   By adding app manifest and uncomment those tags I will get the right version number   Microsoft Windows NT 10 0 18362 0     Alternative solution  If you don t like adding app manifest to your project  you can use OSDescription which is available since  NET Framework 4 7 1 and  NET Core 1 0   string description   RuntimeInformation OSDescription    Note  Don t forget to add following using statement at top of your file   using System Runtime InteropServices    You can read more about it and supported platforms here

This is a relatively old question but I ve recently had to solve this problem and didn t see my solution posted anywhere   The easiest  and simplest way in my opinion  is to just use a pinvoke call to RtlGetVersion   DllImport  ntdll dll   SetLastError   true   internal static extern uint RtlGetVersion out Structures OsVersionInfo versionInformation      return type should be the NtStatus enum   StructLayout LayoutKind Sequential   internal struct OsVersionInfo       private readonly uint OsVersionInfoSize       internal readonly uint MajorVersion      internal readonly uint MinorVersion       private readonly uint BuildNumber       private readonly uint PlatformId        MarshalAs UnmanagedType ByValTStr  SizeConst   128       private readonly string CSDVersion      Where Major and Minor version numbers in this struct correspond to the values in the table of the accepted answer   This returns the correct Windows version number unlike the deprecated GetVersion  amp  GetVersionEx functions from kernel32
