How can you determine whether a user is using windows version 7 or 8 or 10?

i have 

var userAgent = navigator.userAgent;
var match = userAgent.match(/Trident\/(\d+[.]\d+)/);

That checks to see if the user is on IE 11. How can I figure out what version of windows it is using using javascript?

It is listed in the user agent. For windows 10 it is Windows NT 10.0 for windows 8 it is 6.2, windows 8.1 it is 6.3 and windows 7 it is 6.1. For example here is my user agent for windows 10

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
