We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out. Click on the big blue button at the bottom of the page to help us keep a roof over our heads, literally!

Windows 11 is really just an enhanced version of Windows 10, which is why the registry still shows 10. I used the OSBUILD2 line below for what I wanted to see.
OSBUILD2=interval:0,color:ffdd99,text:Operating System,display:%1 (%2)|%15{{{.%17}}}{{{.%16}}} {{{(%18)}}}
%1 aka %operating_system% is working fine and showing Windows 11, but it starts with "Microsoft"
I would prefer to use %21 aka %productname% which removes "Microsoft", but the result for that one is Windows 10.
%operating_system% = Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise
%productname% = Windows 10 Enterprise
Still the way it is. If you see my post here: https://www.glenn.delahoy.com/forums/topic/windows-11-support/#post-4642 this is how I work through it. We have even updated it since I posted as we now have windows 10/11/ multi user to contend with.
Here is our updated code for identifying what os it is:
# needed to account for Windows 11 as there are some items that still report win 10 like productname
REG=set:OSBuild,value:HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionCurrentBuild,display:%1,hidden:1
REG=set:OSEdition,value:HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionEditionID,display:%1,hidden:1
IF=value1:%OSEdition%,comp:eq,value2:ServerRdsh
SET OSEdition=Multi-Session
IF=value1:%OSEdition%,comp:eq,value2:EnterpriseS
SET OSEdition=LTSC 2021
SET myProductName=Windows 10 %osedition%
IF=value1:%OSBuild%,comp:ge,value2:22000
SET MyProductName=Windows 11 %osedition%
OSBUILD2=color:%orange%,text:Operating System,display:%MYProductName% (%18)
I would also like to know how to omit the Microsoft from %1
Rtruss i found when i added the code above it still shows Windows 10 on a Windows 11 device. My current build registry entry is showing as 22631
I was curious how the following line works.
IF=value1:%OSBuild%,comp:ge,value2:22000
I was curious how the following line works.
IF=value1:%OSBuild%,comp:ge,value2:22000
IF %OSBuild% is greater than or equal to 22000
where build 22000 was the first build of Windows 11.
Thanks for that, i should have really figure that out lol.
I also realised why i was having issues with rtruss code, I had to change the following.
REG=set:OSBuild,value:HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionCurrentBuild,display:%1,hidden:1
REG=set:OSEdition,value:HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionEditionID,display:%1,hidden:1
to
REG=set:OSBuild,value:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentBuild,display:%1,hidden:1
REG=set:OSEdition,value:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EditionID,display:%1,hidden:1
missing the backslashes. that'll do it every time.
also this forum software has nicer code support to make sure it doesn't mangle this kind of thing:
REG=set:OSBuild,value:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentBuild,display:%1,hidden:1 REG=set:OSEdition,value:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\EditionID,display:%1,hidden:1
