For Windows 8.1+ you can no longer use the OSVersion (it will always show Windows Version 8). Instead you should include an App Manifest and write different scripts based on the targeted environment.

You can read from regsirty through code and do specific action what you intended.

Say for ex:

Registry key you can find here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and then look for "ProductName"

You can open registry information by giving regedit.exe in run (windows+r)

 var reg = 
Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion");

 string productName = (string)reg.GetValue("ProductName");

 if(productName.StartsWith("Windows 10"))
 {
 }
else
 {
 }

        //Get Operating system information.
        OperatingSystem os = Environment.OSVersion;
        //Get version information about the os.
        Version vs = os.Version;

        if (vs.Major == 10 && vs.Minor == 0)  // Test flow for WINDOWS 10 environment 
        {
        }
        else if (vs.Major == 6 && vs.Minor == 3)  // Test flow for WINDOWS 8.1 environment 
        {
        }
        else                             // Test flow for WINDOWS 7 and 8 environment  
        {
