The error you're encountering is due to the fact that the System.Management namespace in .NET 6.0 relies on .NET Framework 4.7 or later to work correctly. Windows 7, as you mentioned, only comes with .NET Framework 4.0 by default, so you won't be able to use this particular part of the .NET 6.0 framework on Windows 7

you can use a different approach to query disk drive information on Windows 7 without relying on .NET 6.0's System.Management namespace. One option is to use the DriveInfo class from the System.IO namespace

DriveInfo[] allDrives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();

    foreach (DriveInfo drive in allDrives)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Drive: " + drive.Name);
        Console.WriteLine("Drive Type: " + drive.DriveType);
        Console.WriteLine("Drive Format: " + drive.DriveFormat);
        Console.WriteLine("Total Size: " + drive.TotalSize);
        Console.WriteLine("Available Space: " + drive.AvailableFreeSpace);
    }
