On Windows, you can run the systeminfo command and retrieves its output for instance with the following code:

private static class WindowsSystemInformation
{
    static String get() throws IOException
    {
        Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
        Process process = runtime.exec("systeminfo");
        BufferedReader systemInformationReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));

        StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        String line;

        while ((line = systemInformationReader.readLine()) != null)
        {
            stringBuilder.append(line);
            stringBuilder.append(System.lineSeparator());
        }

        return stringBuilder.toString().trim();
    }
}
