Hi,   
  
 FinalBuilder does not have an action that checks the OS and bitness of the current machine but you’re able to use the Run Script action to execute the following python script which leverages the .NET 4.0 framework to get the information:   
  
 import System   
 print System.Environment.OSVersion.VersionString   
 print System.Environment.Is64OperatingSystem #requires .NET 4.0   
  
 More information on the Environment class: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment\_members(v=VS.100).aspx](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment_members(v=VS.100).aspx)
