  A quick Google search on getting the Windows version number in VBS gave me the below example code:

   

  Set dtmConvertedDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")
  strComputer = "."
  Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
  Set oss = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
  
  For Each os in oss
     value =  "Version: " & os.Version
  Next
  

  It seems to do the trick.  The below link gives the full name to what each version of Windows is:
