The missed step here is to get an ATIS/ASOS/AWOS report off the ATC menu to determine which way the prevailing wind is blowing and how strong. That dictates whether you should in fact try to land at that airfield or you should seek alternates, including turning back.
If you’re flying a plane with a Flight Management System that can read prevailing wind while airborne, use that. So that’s a different approach.
Only then should you think about which runway you need.
