First, press the "Windows" key on your keyboard, which is usually located between the "Ctrl" and "Alt" keys, or looks like a Windows logo. This will bring up the Windows search bar.

Next, type in "winver" in the search bar and hit enter. This will bring up a dialog box showing you the version of Windows you are running. The version number will be displayed in the box, along with the build number and other information.

Another way to check your Windows version is to use the Settings app. To do this, press the "Windows" key again and type in "Settings". Click on the "Settings" app when it appears in the search results.

Once you have the Settings app open, scroll down to "System" and click on it. In the System menu, scroll down to "About" and click on it. Here, you will be able to see information about your Windows version, including the edition, version number, and OS build.

It's important to note that these methods work for Windows 10 and 11, and likely for most earlier versions of Windows as well.

Checking your Windows version can be useful for troubleshooting issues or determining if your computer is compatible with certain software or hardware.
