A lot of us have been there. Whether it&#8217;s for software compatibility, troubleshooting, or just out of sheer curiosity, sometimes we need to know our operating system&rsquo;s suffix. For example, you cannot use Adobe Premiere Elements on Windows 10 builds earlier than version 21H1 and Windows 11 versions earlier than 21H2. Such specifications can make you question how much you know your operating system. You&rsquo;re also reminded that you apparently forgot  how to tell what version of Windows  you&rsquo;re using. So, if you&rsquo;re asking yourself, &ldquo;What is my Windows OS version?&rdquo; you&rsquo;ve come to the right place.  This is where you can learn (or relearn) how to check the version of Windows on your PC. <\/p>\n<h2>Option 1: Accessing the about Windows box<\/h2>\n<p>\nYou can get the essential information about your operating system by accessing the About Windows box. You can do that by following these steps:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Launch the <em>Run dialog<\/em> box by pressing <code>Windows Key + R<\/code> on your keyboard.<\/li>\n<li>Once the <em>Run dialog<\/em> box is open, type <code>winver<\/code>, then click <em>OK<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Run-winver.webp\" alt=\"Run winver in the run dialog box\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>The A<em>bout Windows<\/em> box will pop up.

My tech obsession began with chasing the smoothest gaming performance possible into various optimization rabbit holes. But that didn't stop me from dipping my toes in different ponds, as I've written for travel, human resources, and digital marketing publications over the past 7 years. I started out with a copywriting agency after pursuing a diploma in computer science. Since then, I've gone freelance, participated in different tech workshops, and found better ways to achieve peak gaming performance. I now enjoy pursuing the latest in computer technology, so I can tell readers when to hold their horses or hop on new trends. I also help people resolve the most frustrating operating system, gaming, and application errors. These experiences and the brilliant folks at Auslogics continue to enrich my articles and deepen my love for computers.

My tech obsession began with chasing the smoothest gaming performance possible into various optimization rabbit holes. But that didn't stop me from dipping my toes in different ponds, as I've written for travel, human resources, and digital marketing publications over the past 7 years. I started out with a copywriting agency after pursuing a diploma in computer science. Since then, I've gone freelance, participated in different tech workshops, and found better ways to achieve peak gaming performance. I now enjoy pursuing the latest in computer technology, so I can tell readers when to hold their horses or hop on new trends. I also help people resolve the most frustrating operating system, gaming, and application errors. These experiences and the brilliant folks at Auslogics continue to enrich my articles and deepen my love for computers.
