Learn about Windows PowerShell
Summary: Use Windows PowerShell 3.0 to determine the specific edition of Windows 8 running on your computer.
Using Windows PowerShell 3.0 in Windows 8, how can you determine the edition of Windows that is installed?
Use the Get-WindowsEdition cmdlet with the Online switch:
Get-WindowsEdition -Online
Good stuff, if you want to throw this directly to string the complete command becomes:
(Get-WindowsEdition -Online).Edition
When I do the command "Get-WindowsEdition -online" i receive an error stating "Get-WindowsEdition: an attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format."
Any idea?
