This should work.

OS.get_name()

String get_name() const
Return the name of the host OS. Possible values are: "Android", "BlackBerry 10", "Flash", "Haiku", "iOS", "HTML5", "OSX", "Server", "Windows", "WinRT", "X11"

Would Xbox OS be Windows for something different, I know it runs a version of Windows but I just wanted to know if its called something different

It would be "UWP".

If you want to get more information, I shared a singleton code example to handle the OS and platform.
