What version of Windows do I have?
Here are several ways you can determine which version of Windows you have.They vary in difficulty and in the amount of information displayed.

|
Method 1: Look at Start Menu (usually lower left corner of screen) | |
| Windows 11: Microsoft logo is square, blue, with gradient color | Windows 10: Microsoft logo is trapezoid, with solid color |
|
|
Method 2: Run winver | |
|
On the keyboard, use the keyboard command Win-R to bring up the Run box.
Here you will see the 2 keys involved, the Windows key being in the lower left. (Do it as you would when capitalizing a letter, holding in the Windows key while you press R.)  | |
|
Into the Run box, type "winver" (with no quotes) and hit OK.
You will see a picture similar to one of the two at the top. | |
| |
Method 3: Windows Settings | |
| Click the Windows Start Button (lower left corner).
This should bring up the Start Menu. Look for the gear that indicates Settings and click it. | |
| |
|
Once in Settings, click System.
Scroll down to find About, and click it. | |
Windows 11: System
Windows 11: About 
|
Windows 10: System
Windows 10: About 
|
Method 4: Win-Pause command | |
On the keyboard, use the keyboard command Win-Pause to request the same About screen as in Method 3.
