You might want to provide a clearer explanation of what exactly you want to achieve since far as I know with High DPI enabled the engine should already be capable of dealing with it automatically. Might just be up to configuring the project settings correctly.

I don't believe you can (at least not on Windows, macOS might work). In any case, you shouldn't even need to know the scale. In your project settings, set HiDPI to enabled. Then your game will display at the native resolution and you won't have to worry about the scale.

There is currently no way to get the OS scale factor on Windows: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/2661

That said, you don't need to know the OS scale factor in a game. You can use the 2d stretch mode and expand stretch aspect, and your game will automatically fit high resolutions while scaling 2D elements to keep them readable.

The main purpose of knowing the OS scale factor is for non-game applications, where the disabled stretch mode is recommended instead.
