You may process the output of the VER command.

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
for /f "tokens=2 delims=[" %%i in ('ver') do for /f "tokens=2,3 delims=. " %%j in ("%%i") do set /a "winver=%%j * 100 + %%k"
echo "%winver%"

pause

The code multiplies the major version by 100 and adds the minor version. Thus, Win7 results in 601 while Win10 resultts in 1000.
Please see the List of Windows versions (column "Release version").
I assembled major and minor version as integer value in order to be able to easily compare it. E.g.

Code: Select all

if %winver% lss 1000 echo Previous to Win10.
