How to Find Windows Server Version?

To find the Windows Server version, the easiest method is to use the winver command.

Here's how:

1. Open the Run dialog box:

   • Press the Windows key + R simultaneously.

2. Type winver:

   • In the Run dialog box, type winver (without quotes).

3. Press Enter or click OK:

   • A window titled "About Windows" will appear. This window displays the exact Windows Server version, build number, and edition.

Alternatively, especially if you're using an older version of Windows Server, or if the Run command isn't easily accessible:

1. Open the Start Menu or Search Bar:
   • If the "Run" command is not readily available (like in older Windows versions), you can use the search functionality.
2. Type winver:
   • In the search bar, type winver (without quotes).
3. Select winver from the search results:
   • Click on the winver application/command from the search results.
4. View the "About Windows" Window: The "About Windows" window will display the version information.

This window provides crucial information such as:

• Windows Edition: Specifies the edition (e.g., Windows Server 2019 Standard, Windows Server 2022 Datacenter).
• Version Number: A more specific version number (e.g., Version 21H2).
• Build Number: Indicates the specific build of the operating system.

The winver command is the quickest and simplest way to determine the exact Windows Server version installed on your system.
