**What**

Sometimes you might need to run specific actions in a workflow depending on the current OS's details. For example you might want to run a workflow that handles new machines coming online in a heterogeneous network by ensuring that they have some piece of software installed on them, and this specific software has variants for Windows, 7, 8 & 10, with their respective bitness of 32 or 64.

  

**Who**

RPA developers, although QAs can also use it to run specific platform scenarios.

**How**

  

Drag and drop the **Get Windows Information** activity from under the _**UiPathTeam &gt; OS**_ node. It returns an **WindowsInformation** object that you can then alongside decision blocks to split the flow based on the scenario needs.

The **WindowsInformation** object exposes the following read-only properties:

*   ProductName (string)
*   EditionId (string)
*   CompositionEditionId (string)
*   ReleaseId (string)
*   CurrentVersion (string)
*   MajorVersion (int)
*   MinorVersion (int)
*   BuildNumber (string)
*   BuildLabEx (string)
*   ServicePack (string)
*   Is64Bit (bool)
*   IsServer (bool)

A package containing activities for querying the operating system for information, specifically for retrieving the Windows version information
