What Windows Version Do I Have?

To determine which version of Windows you have, you can use a simple command. Here's how:

Steps to Identify Your Windows Version

• Launch the Command Prompt:
  • You can do this by searching for "cmd" in the Windows search bar and selecting "Command Prompt".
• Type WINVER:
  • In the command prompt window, type WINVER and press Enter.
• Check the Pop-Up:
  • A window labeled "About Windows" will appear, displaying your current Windows version and build information.

Understanding the Output

The “About Windows” pop-up provides details including:

• Windows Edition: e.g., Windows 11 Home, Windows 10 Pro.
• Version: A more detailed version number e.g., 22H2
• OS Build: The specific build number for your operating system.

Alternative Methods

While using WINVER is the most direct method, here are other approaches:

1. System Settings:
   • Go to "Settings" (via the Start Menu or Windows Key + I).
   • Click on "System" then "About".
   • This page lists your Windows specifications including edition, version, OS build.
2. System Information Tool:
   • Search for "System Information" in the Windows search bar.
   • Open the application, under "System Summary" you can find your "OS Name", "Version" and "OS Build Number"

By using these steps, you can easily determine which version of Windows you have installed on your computer.
