I hope it helps you.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Management;
//This namespace is used to work with WMI classes. For using this namespace add reference of System.Management.dll .using Microsoft.Win32;     
//This namespace is used to work with Registry editor.namespace OperatingSystemInfo1{    
class TestProgram {
  static void Main(string[] args) {
    SystemInfo si = new SystemInfo();
    //Create an object of SystemInfo class.            
    si.getOperatingSystemInfo();
    //Call get operating system info method which will display operating system information.
    si.getProcessorInfo();
    //Call get  processor info method which will display processor info.            
    Console.ReadLine();
    //Wait for user to accept input key.       
  }

}
public class SystemInfo {
  public void getOperatingSystemInfo() {
    Console.WriteLine("Displaying operating system info....\n");
    //Create an object of ManagementObjectSearcher class and pass query as parameter.
    ManagementObjectSearcher mos = new ManagementObjectSearcher("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem");
    foreach(ManagementObject managementObject in mos.Get()) {
      if (managementObject["Caption"] != null) {
        Console.WriteLine("Operating System Name  :  " + managementObject["Caption"].ToString());
        //Display operating system caption                
      }

      if (managementObject["OSArchitecture"] != null) {
        Console.WriteLine("Operating System Architecture  :  " + managementObject["OSArchitecture"].ToString());
        //Display operating system architecture.               
      }
      if (managementObject["CSDVersion"] != null) {
        Console.WriteLine("Operating System Service Pack   :  " + managementObject["CSDVersion"].ToString());
        //Display operating system version.               
      }

    }
  }
  public void getProcessorInfo() {
    Console.WriteLine("\n\nDisplaying Processor Name....");
    RegistryKey processor_name = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree);
    //This registry entry contains entry for processor info.        
    if (processor_name != null) {
      if (processor_name.GetValue("ProcessorNameString") != null) {
        Console.WriteLine(processor_name.GetValue("ProcessorNameString"));
        //Display processor ingo.      
      }
    }
  }
}
}

Thank you.
