Find Windows 10 Version Number  

If you want to obtain OS Edition, Type [x64/x86], Version, Build using a batch file then you could use this one -

Code:

@echo off
prompt $g

:: Windows Edition
Set UseExpresssion=Reg Query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "ProductName"
for /F "tokens=*" %%X IN ('%UseExpresssion%') do Set OSEdition=%%X
Set OSEdition=%OSEdition:*REG_SZ    =%
echo %OSEdition%

:: Windows Type
If Defined ProgramFiles(x86) (Set OSType=x64) Else (Set OSType=x86)
echo %OSType%

:: Windows Version
Set UseExpresssion=Reg Query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "ReleaseId"
for /F "tokens=*" %%X IN ('%UseExpresssion%') do Set OSVersion=%%X
Set OSVersion=%OSVersion:*REG_SZ    =%
echo %OSVersion%

:: Windows Build - this includes the full build number such as Build 17134.376
Set UseExpresssion=Ver
for /F "tokens=*" %%X IN ('%UseExpresssion%') do Set OSBuild=%%X
Set OSBuild=%OSBuild:*10.0.=%
Set OSBuild=%OSBuild:~0,-1%
echo %OSBuild%

:EndGetSystemProperties
:: this consolidated output now shows, for example, Windows 10 Home x64 Version 1803 Build 17134.376
echo %OSEdition% %OSType% Version %OSVersion% Build %OSBuild%
Pause at EndGetSystemProperties during testing

I have tested this on Ver 1709 & Ver 1803 [x64 and x86]. It has also been tested on Ver 1809.

In practice, I call this from other batch files & I omit / remark out the lines @echo off and Pause at End…

If I merely want to display the various parameters rather than use them elsewhere, I use a shortcut to the batch file that has this as its Target property

Code:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k "C:\Tools\ReportOSVersion.bat"

- This will remain open onscreen despite having that final Pause line omitted / remarked out.

I call my batch file ReportOSVersion.bat and I save it along with all my other batch, vbs, PS & similar files within C:\Tools for which I have curtailed non-Admin user permissions to:- Read & execute, List folder contents, Read. Doing so mimics the protection Windows applies to the Program files folders.

The only thing I don't see in that .bat file is where the output of it goes after it closes, very fast. Another Pause by itself after the last line in your file does keep it on the screen and is scrollable.

Thanks for that line, Bree, forgot about it, does clean it up.

@Bree, @Berton,

You are both right of course. I have amended my post.

This is how Microsoft enumerates Windows:
Attachment 217267
The .bat file does give a bit more information.

You might want to hide your email.

Thanks, got in a hurry helping wife prepare a church meal for a funeral.

The only point of the bat is that it captures the data for use elsewhere.
