Sure, here is how to detect Windows version in .NET:

C#

using System;

namespace DetectWindowsVersion
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Get the Windows version.
            var windowsVersion = Environment.OSVersion;

            // Print the Windows version.
            Console.WriteLine("Windows version: {0}", windowsVersion.VersionString);
        }
    }
}

This code will first get the Windows version from the Environment object. The Environment object provides information about the environment that the code is running in.

Next, the code will print the Windows version to the console. The VersionString property of the OSVersion class returns a string that represents the Windows version.

Here is an example of the output of this code:

Windows version: 10.0.19043.1237

This output shows that the computer is running Windows 10, version 20H2.

Here is a table summarizing the key properties of the OSVersion class:

Property	Description
Version	The Windows version number.
MajorVersion	The major version number of Windows.
MinorVersion	The minor version number of Windows.
BuildNumber	The build number of Windows.
Revision	The revision number of Windows.
VersionString	A string that represents the Windows version.
