Windows version issue

Question

Hi all,

Is there any way to retrieve the edition of Windows?

I found the similar question on http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winappswithhtml5/thread/964f734c-363b-4b3a-b8f6-fcb522274fbe

But can I distinguish Windows 8 pro from Windows RT? Although both of these os can run Windows Store App...

Specifically, how can I get system type? 64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor or 32-bit Operating system, ARM-based processor...

Thanks for helps..

Nick

Hi,

Try to get the system info with GetNativeSystemInfo or SYSTEM_INFO.
