way to detect the operating system?

I would like to find which os our game is running on.
I need to know if it's running on Windows 10 or not basically.
SystemInfo.operatingSystem leaves me with just a string and not a way to find all possible options.

Reason
All major controllers seem to use different axis and buttons on Windows 10.
makes our default controller scheme run without issues on Win vista, 7 and 8 but not on win10.

 

What options are you expecting? They're only running one Operating System, just use a string compare on the return.

 

Hm. Just fyi: SystemInfo.operatingSystem still returns 6.3.xxxx under Windows 10.
Windows 8.1 (6.3.10240) 64bit

[e]
According to https://buildfeed.net/page-4/ I would consider anything higher than 6.3.9884 as Windows 10. But I wouldn't rely on it without testing. :/

 

Check out this documentation page:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RuntimePlatform.html

The links for the individual operating systems on that page show how to detect which OS/platform the compiled application is running on.

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.OSXPlayer)
2.        {
3.            //do something
4.        }
5.  
6. else if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.WindowsPlayer)
7.         {
8.            //do something
9.         }
10.  
11.   else if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.LinuxPlayer)
12.         {
13.             //do something
14.         }
15.  
16. else if(Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.PS4)
17.         {
18.             //do something
19.         }
20.  
21. //and so on

 

The OP wasn't asking how to find if they were running Windows or not, but which version of Windows.

The best solution to the OP's issues today is to probably just use the Rewired asset to handle any controller differences and move on to some other problem.

 

Why would you necro this and give very wrong advice on multiple levels?

 

The original question was:
"way to detect the operating system?"

I found this post because I was searching for a way to detect the OS for different reasons than the original poster. I did read everything. I decided to post what I did because it may help others in the future. This post comes up in search results for other things besides trying to connect a controller to Windows 10. Just trying to be helpful.

And this offends you Lurking-Ninja? If you are a moderator and you're offended feel free to delete my post. It won't bother me.

 

You omitted the reason op gave for their topic which specifically states it's a windows issue. As to why you left that out is beyond me.

No, that wasn't the original question.

That you don't read the six years old question and give faulty and straight out bad advise? No, but baffles me.

Do you see "Moderator" badge under my avatar here? I guess you read these things like you read the OP.

I don't know what you think about our moderators, but they aren't deleting or closing threads because they are offended. They do it when the thread/posts affect other forum visitors. Not because of their personal viewpoint. Please give them the proper respect by thinking first about what you imply, they deserve it.

 

For those of you who stumbled upon this forum. I couldn't find a proper solution anywhere and this is what I ended up with:

using System;

public void CheckWindowsVersion {
OperatingSystem os = Environment.OSVersion;
if (os.Version.Major == 10) { // Running on Windows 10 } else
else if (os.Version.Major == 11) { // Running on Windows 11 } } }
