Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Retrieve the Windows OS version

Describe the solution you'd like Want to retrieve the Windows OS version.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently using ManagementObjectSearcher to get the OS version used

using (ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT Caption FROM Win32_OperatingSystem"))
{
      foreach (ManagementObject os in searcher.Get())
      {
         OSCaption = os["Caption"].ToString();
         break;
      }
}

Additional context I have seen methods being called to get the windows OS version here. Is it possible to expose this so we can use this in our application to detect the windows version.

Jinjinov commented 2 years ago

Yes, it is possible to expose this method, but... I try to keep this library as cross platform as possible - if I make a new method, I try to implement it in Windows, Linux and macOS.

I could make GetOsVersion() for all three operating systems.
