I'm making some batch files to personalise my windows installations faster, but I need my batch to take a road depending on which Windows version it's running on.

If i could get the windows version into a variable i could build a conditional to take the right path.

I've been looking for an answer on google and even here but... the answers i've got dont meet what i need.

could someone help me please?...

  • You haven't defined your need. What do you mean by **version**? Are you looking for a string like "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium" or a number like "6.1.7601"? What do you expect this **version** to look like? Give examples! [edit] this into your question. – DavidPostill Apr 05 '16 at 22:30

If you're looking for the version number, that has been answered here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13212088/1337519

C:\Users\somedude>wmic os get version
Version
6.1.7601

C:\Users\somedude>

and here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13212116/1337519

@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=4-5 delims=. " %%i in ('ver') do set VERSION=%%i.%%j
if "%version%" == "6.3" echo Windows 8.1
if "%version%" == "6.2" echo Windows 8.
if "%version%" == "6.1" echo Windows 7.
if "%version%" == "6.0" echo Windows Vista.
rem etc etc
endlocal

  • `for /f "skip=2 tokens=2,*" %%A in ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CurrentBuildNumber') do (set VERSION=%%B)` should also do the trick – mirh Jul 26 '18 at 20:46
