    To find out what version of Windows is installed on your device, you can use several methods:

    1. System Properties:
      • Select Start > Settings > System, then select About. Here, you will see the Edition, Version, and OS Build information.
    2. Using Keyword Search:
      • Type "winver" in the search bar and press ENTER. This will display a window showing your Windows version.
      • Alternatively, you can type "msinfo" or "msinfo32" to open the System Information window, which also provides version details.
    3. Using Command Prompt or PowerShell:
      • Open PowerShell or Command Prompt and type systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /B /C:"OS Version", then press ENTER. This command will display the OS name and version.
      • You can also type slmgr /dlv to get detailed licensing information, which includes the version.
    4. Checking Windows Insider Preview:
      • If you are part of the Windows Insider program, you can check for a watermark on the bottom right of your desktop that indicates the version. You can also check the About section in Settings or run the winver command as mentioned above.

    By using any of these methods, you can easily determine whether you have Windows 10 or Windows 11 installed.
