Hi jsmorley.
Sorry to ask about something else then the topic of the thread. I tried to search but my google skills don't seem to be up to the task.
In this first picture, your tooltip is showing the Windows Version and Build number (I found what to use to have Rainmeter display what OS I have, i.e. Windows 10 but more interested in Version and Build (unless I missed it there?)). Could you be kind and point me in the right direction to find out how to access that information through a Rainmneter command, please ? I know where to get it on the PC, just would like to have it on one of the gadgets instead.
Thank you for any and all assistance and sorry once again to slightly derail the thread !

CSDVersion is where the "service pack ..." used to be for Windows 7 and below (so its own "build number" in words, so to speak), and the entire Windows 10 "build number" is in the form of CurrentMajorVersionNumber.CurrentMinorVersionNumber.CurrentBuildNumber.UBR (leads to something like 10.0.17134.112). Basically, the OS's "build" is either CSDVersion or CurrentMajorVersionNumber.CurrentMinorVersionNumber.CurrentBuildNumber.UBR for any (post Windows NT?) Windows OS.
P.S. Why "CurrentBuildNumber" and not simply "CurrentBuild"? Well, I don't trust the strings that could exist in "non-specific" Windows registry keys. While "CurrentBuild" should, in theory, be the same as "CurrentBuildNumber", I find that the latter is more specific in providing an actual number. Just a matter of preference, of course.
