This is easy.

Look at the class System.OperatingSystem and the property System.OperatingSystem.Platform of the type System.PlatformID. It has such members as System.PlatformID.Unix, System.PlatformID.Win32Windows, etc.

You can get System.OperatingSystem of your system using the class and System.Environment and System.Environment.OSVersion.Platform.

You may also need to know System.Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem and System.Environment.Is64BitProcess.

That's it.
