    Default Detect operating system, physical memory and other system information

    I want to collect information that what is current OS, how physical memory (RAM) does the machine has, how much disk space etc. I tried to use QSysInfo but was not able to get what I am looking for.
    Also in some document it is written that QSysInfo::WindowsVersion() function is there but this is also missing in QSysInfo. QSysInfo has very few options.

    It's hard to gather such information from a single source and definitely not in a cross-platform way. On Unix you'd have to parse some files in /proc, for example.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Congratulations, that was the idea. Now look at the results and follow the one that looks like it knows how to calculate available physical memory using C++.

    Qt is a framework, not a language. If you can't see the functionality in the Qt documentation, then look for a C++ solution. It's not difficult, Wysota even created the google query for you.
