There were several instances where I had to find details of the operating system using PowerShell. Here, I am providing several PowerShell snippets that return various details of the Operating System.
Name of the Operating System
(Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).Name
Is Operating System 32-bit or 64-bit
(Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).OSArchitecture
Name of the Machine
(Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).CSName
There are many more properties of the Operating System that are exposed. To obtain more details, run the following
Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem | Get-Member
