Firs of all you will need to obtain the Windows kernel version by reading the following Registry key - "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion". Let's say it 6.3, which means that it is Win8.1 or WS2012R2, parsing "BuildLabEx" string from the same hive will give you information about the platform bitness. Next you need to go through inf files, and find "DriverVer" string, like this one . taken from from vioscsi.inf DriverVer=08/01/2015,62.72.104.10800 This string contains build time and version stamps. The version stamp looks as follow "62.72.104.10800" where 62 means a target Windows kernel version multiplied by 10. In this case it is 6.2 which means Win8 or WS2012 72 - the target host platform version multiplied bu 10 (was RHEL7.2) 104 just a magic number, but it can be changed, don't make any assumption based on this number. 10800 our internal build number (build 108) multiplied by 100

If you found an inf file with the matching minor OS (6 in our case) version and matching or less but close minor version number (2 vs 3) then you are in the right directory.
