Hi all,

Need to detect if user is running on Win 8 vs. Win 10 vs Win 7. It seems that OS(1) returns "Windows 6.01" for Win 7 and for both Win 8 and Win 10 it returns "Windows 6.02" (for Win 8, I had to get someone else to run but they confirmed they were indeed running Win 8).

Other than the build number returned with OS(5), is there any other function or system var that I can check to tell the difference?

Thanks,
Albert
