If you look at registry you will found environment name:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName

For example my product name is Windows 10 Home:

With this code you get if it Windows 10:

 static bool IsWindows10()
 {
     var reg = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion");

     string productName = (string)reg.GetValue("ProductName");

     return productName.StartsWith("Windows 10");
 }

Note: Add using Microsoft.Win32; to your usings.
