In order to get the Windows version, please execute the following line of code in the MATLAB Command Window:

 

>> [~, WindowsVersion] = system('ver')

 

The above command calls the ‘system’ MATLAB function.  This MATLAB function tells the operating system to execute the command ‘ver’, which outputs the version of Windows on the computer.  For more information about the ‘system’ MATLAB function, please refer to the following link:
