Windows 10 VersionHelper.h  

I need to store the version of Windows running on the client computer in a variable. I'm having problems with VersionHelper.h, machines that are using Windows 10 appears as Windows 8, how do I fix this?

I'm using Visual Studio 2015, Target Platform Version: 10.0.10586.0

HTML Code:

if (IsWindows7SP1OrGreater())
{
    strcpy_s(this->OS_Detect, "Windows 7 SP1");
}

if (IsWindows8OrGreater())
{
    strcpy_s(this->OS_Detect, "Windows 8");
}

if (IsWindows8Point1OrGreater())
{
    strcpy_s(this->OS_Detect, "Windows 8.1");
}

if (IsWindows10OrGreater())
{
    strcpy_s(this->OS_Detect, "Windows 10");
}

return of machines with windows 10 = "Windows 8"
I need more clarity, any help here is appreciated..

Thanks

That's a programming bug. Windows 10 is greater than Window 8 so that statement is true. You need to reverse the choices, 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and it should work okay.

The OP isn't using else-if so the code should work as written.

However, the IsWindows8Point1OrGreater() and IsWindows10OrGreater() APIs have a caveat for Win10: IsWindows10OrGreater function | Microsoft Docs

Applications not manifested for Windows 10 return false, even if the current operating system version is Windows 10. To manifest your applications for Windows 10, see Targeting your application for Windows.
