[Wayback/Archive] powershell – How to get the windows version with command line? – Super User (thanks [Wayback/Archive] harrymc!)
The value can be found under registry keyComputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersioninside the value namedDisplayVersion.The following PowerShell command will get it:(Get-Item "HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion").GetValue('DisplayVersion')
This seems to have been introduced in version 2004 (20H1).
