How to get Microsoft Windows system info using Powershell

There are many times that I have to get the system information like Windows Edition, Version, Architecture etc, in order to create support case or post to a forum.

Since I use Powershell for almost everything, I have a script with the following commands to get that info:

Windows Edition
(Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem).Caption

Windows Version
(Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem).Version

Processor Info
(Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem).OSArchitecture

I'm using WMI cause I want to be able to get the above info from remote systems as well.

If you want more information about a system take a look at the Win32_OperatingSystem class here.

If you want to act based on the above info, it may be better to use some environmental variables and get the exact values.
