How To Check The Windows Version In Windows 11 And 10

Check the Windows Version You Have from Settings

Press the “Win + I” Windows keyboard shortcut to open the Settings app. Move to the “System” menu on the left. Scroll to the bottom and open “About” in the right pane.

Here, under “Windows specifications“, you can find the Windows edition, version, and OS build.

Check Windows Version Using the Winver Command

Press “Win + R” to open the Run dialog box. Here, type winver and press Enter.

A window will appear, where you can find the Windows version along with the OS Build.

Find Windows Version from System Information

Open the Start menu and search for system information. Now, open it.

Under System Summary, you can find the Windows OS version name and build number right on top here.

Find Windows Version from CMD or PowerShell

Open the Start menu and search for “Windows Terminal“. You can also open Command Prompt or PowerShell separately.

Now, run the below command to check the Windows version using Command Prompt or PowerShell.

So this is how you can find the Windows version on Windows 11 and 10. I usually fire the “winver” command to quickly find the build number on my Windows 11 PC, but you can use any of the mentioned methods. Furthermore, if you are looking for a new way to install apps on PCs, go ahead and try the Windows Package Manager on Windows 11.
