This is in PB2019. The Help doesn't say, and I don't have a copy of Windows 8 to try it on.

Thanks.

Hi

I'ts either 6.2 (8.0) or 6.3 (8.1). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions and png attached.

Use my osversion object to display the current Windows version:

That's nice, Roland, but the O/S version info in PB is quite sufficient as long as I know what answers it will give - Arthur Hefti's answer (and link) are sufficient for.

Starting with WIndows 8, the operating system hides the operating system version. The Environment object won't recognize the difference between WIn8 and Win10 unless Appeon has changed the code to populate the values in a different way.

My object gets the version info from kernel32.dll to determine the version.

Thanks, Chris. I hope the next release of PB will include that in the docs!

Hi Dan;

Yes it should for PB2019 R2 as I have sent this update request over to the documentation team last week. I am not sure about the next PB2017R3 MR as it has already started its QA process for general release.

Regards ... Chris
