I have the latest version of SoftPerfect Scanner... I am looking to find out the OS on all PCs on the network, and can't seem to get it.

The latest version of Network Scanner (or any version from 7.2.1. up) features integration with Nmap, a free console tool that can detect the operating system.

If Nmap is not already installed on your computer, you will need to install it first, then in Network Scanner go to Options - Integration with Nmap, and check the "OS detection" line. This forum topic has screen shots for a very similar situation.
