- A window named "About Windows" will appear, showing your Windows version and build number.
- Check via Settings:
- Click the Start menu and select Settings (gear icon) or press Windows key + I.
- Go to System > About.
- Under "Windows specifications," you'll see your edition (like Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Home), version number (such as 21H2 or 25H2), and OS build number.
- Alternative methods:
- Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and type "systeminfo" for detailed system info including Windows version.

These steps work for recent Windows versions including Windows 10 and Windows 11, and are quick to perform to verify your Windows edition, version, and build precisely.
