How to get the windows drive in Powershell?

How can one get the drive name that contains the current windows installation in Powershell?

I thought about looping through the DeviceId output of get-wmiobject -class win32_logicaldisk and scanning each drive that is returned whether it contains folder <drive name>/Windows/System32/.

However I think there is a less convoluted way of finding the drive (which might also be less error prone in case of multiple windows installations on different drives on a single pc).
