Windows Native Toolkit | Windows Info Library

Windows version, build, edition, machine identity, keyboard-layout, and system-language nodes.

Use this library to display or log Windows identity and basic operating-system information.

Python examples use Unreal's reflected API names through the unreal module. Async, delegate-driven, and unsupported wildcard-style nodes are intentionally left as C++-only examples.
