Unfortunately, it's not available a ready to use built-in method for detecting the target Windows Edition.
However, you may implement your own method (for example; with invoking a custom DLL or. EXE) around the "GetVersionEx" WINAPI. This function returns the target edition through the "OSVERSIONINFOEX" structure.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks Francesco for the answer,
I know the sysinfoapi functions in Kernel32 but honestly I would have hoped for another answer.
If we prepare our own DLL we will make it available to other users as well.
