Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem
Environment.Is64BitProcess
Enviromment.OSVersion

And for OSVersion look in this for constructing OS name - OS version realations: Determine OS using Environment.OSVersion

and this contains the different OS name, OS version relations:

Lastly, if you don't want to do all that code yourself, you could use this code (which will get you edition etc. but is not based on Environment):

Checkout the IntPtr.Size property:

The value of this property is 4 on a 32-bit platform, and 8 on a 64-bit platform.

No, this will give whether the process itself is running in 32 bit or 64 bit. Processes can run in 32 bit on 64 bit platforms. Which equals to `Environment.Is64BitProcess`. – Lasse Espeholt Aug 23 '10 at 08:04

You can use:

System.OperatingSystem info = System.Environment.OSVersion;
