Format Powershell Script as a Table

How can I alter this script so that the output will be in table format?

$arServer = Get-Content -Path "C:\ServerList.txt"

foreach ($strServer in $arServer){

    $colltems =Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem -computername $strServer

foreach($sProperty in $colltems)
{
   
   Write-Host "Computer name; " $strServer
   Write-Host $sProperty.Description
   Write-Host $sProperty.Caption
   Write-Host $sProperty.OSArchitecture
   Write-Host $sProperty.ServicePackMajorVersion

}
}

What about this? Is this what you were looking for? Sorry if I misunderstood.

$arServer = Get-Content -Path "C:\ServerList.txt"

foreach ($strServer in $arServer){

    $colltems =Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem -computername $strServer

foreach($sProperty in $colltems)
{
   
   Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem -computername $sProperty| format-table

}
}

Seems like you're on the right track, but here's what I get when I try to run that:
