Determining the version of Windows installed on a computer can be crucial for troubleshooting issues, installing compatible software, and ensuring the system is up to date with the latest security patches. There are several methods to check the Windows version, each with its own advantages and level of detail provided.
One simple method is to access the System Information window. By pressing the Windows key + R and typing “msinfo32” in the Run dialog box, you can view the Windows version, build number, and other system details. Alternatively, you can navigate to the Settings app, select “System” and then “About” to find the Windows version and edition information.
