    I am trying to make a group policy that will only apply to Windows 10 64bit computers.  I am not sure what WMI Filter is for Windows 10.  Also, do I  need to download the ADMX files before I apply the filter?

    So my two questions are:

    1.  What is the WMI Filter to include only windows 10 64 bit machines

    2.  Do I need to download the ADMX files before applying the filter for Windows 10.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    Target 32-bit OS's with:

    • Namespace: root\CIMv2
    • Query: Select * from Win32_Processor where AddressWidth = '32'

    Target 64-bit OS's with:

    • Namespace: root\CIMv2
    • Query: Select * from Win32_Processor where AddressWidth = '64'

    You only need the ADMX files if you are going to do something with Windows 10 specific settings.

    For the other one, you probably should download and look at:

    You want a settings similar to this:

    Select * from WIN32_OperatingSystem where Version like ‘6.1.%’ and ProductType=1

    That is for Windows 7 desktops.

    UPDATE: On my Windows 10 device my WIN32_OperatingSystem | Version is 10.0.10586 and my AddressWidth is 64 (I'm on 64-bit Windows 10 so that checks out)

    I know this is old, but for Windows 10 you want the Version to be "10.0.%". This also works but might not be recommended: "10.%"

    Windows internal versioning has been very odd. Vista was 6.0.*, Windows 7 was 6.1, Windows 8 was 6.2. Allegedly Windows 9 doesn't exist because if you did a query for "9*" or "9%", you might get Windows 95/98 as a possible answer.
