Are you running the most up to date version of Windows? Did your PC update to the big Windows 11 24H2 upgrade yet, or do you still need to grab all the fresh new goodies? Knowing which version of Windows is on your PC can help you answer those questions.
Here are three quick, easy ways to find the build and version numbers for your Windows install.
Sam Singleton
The first, and easiest way to check the version and build number of your Windows OS is to use the built-in Winver tool.
Simply type “winver” into the search field in the taskbar. Then under the search results open up the winver run command option and an info window opens in which the version and build number appears.
2. Windows Settings
Under “Windows specifications” in the Settings menu you can find the version and build number.

The second way to find the version number is under the Windows “Settings” menu.
To do this, type “Settings” in the start menu and click on the Settings system option. Under the Settings menu click on “System”. Now scroll all the way down and click on “About”. In the following window, you will find the number listed under “Windows specifications”.
3. Registry database
Under the “Registry Editor” you can also find the Windows version.

Thirdly, the version number can also be found in the registry database. Type “regedit” in the search field of the taskbar and click on “Registry Editor”.
Next, follow the path “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows NT->CurrentVersion”. Click on “CurrentVersion and you’ll then see the version number on the right-hand side of the window under “ReleaseId”. As a rule, however, the value of the “DisplayVersion” is used, which you can see a few lines above.
