Creating a query finding all Windows 7 operating systems

Using a query allows you for example to find all devices on which the different flavors of an operating system are installed, that is, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, and so on.

2. Click the Create Query icon.
    The Properties window appears.
3. Enter the name of the new query into the Name field, e.g. Windows 7 Devices and click OK .
4. Now double-click the query in the table to access it.
5. Select the Criteria tab in the right window pane.
6. Click the Add Criterion icon.
    The Select Criterion window appears.
7. Select the criterion Operating System .
8. In the following Operator drop-down box select the value Contains and enter Windows 7 into the Value field.
9. Click the Find button.
10. Select the Microsoft Windows 7 operating systems in the Search Criteria pop-up and click OK .
11. Click the Add button.
     The selected criterion is added to the list of Selected Criteria to the right.
12. Click OK to confirm the new query content and to close the window.
