Description

Operating system name with version (Read Only).

Returns detailed information about the operating system of the device, including the version. For a simple platform detection, properties like Application.platform or deviceType might be more appropriate.

Note: On Windows Store Apps, it's impossible to tell if the user is running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows. In this situation, the CPU architecture is queried instead. If the CPU is 64-bit, SystemInfo.operatingSystem will return 'Windows <version> 64 bit', and if the CPU is 32-bit - 'Windows <version>'.
