•  Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly.
• Add Namespace

  //Import Namespace
  using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices;

• Add below code in program class

          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              //Create a new instance of computer class
              Computer com = new Computer();
              Console.WriteLine("OS Name: " + com.Info.OSFullName);
              Console.WriteLine("OS Version: " + com.Info.OSVersion);
              Console.WriteLine("OS Platform: " + com.Info.OSPlatform);
              Console.ReadLine();
           }
