Step 1
You can use the standard tools of the OS itself. Any self-respecting manufacturer of a product tries to indicate the most significant data. You can find out the version of the operating system in several ways. If you have access to a computer with this OS, use the standard system methods. To do this, go to the "Start" menu. Next, right-click in an empty window. A context menu will pop up, in which select the "Properties" item.
Step 2
It displays all information about the installed hardware, operating system version, as well as full information about the drivers and much more. In general, we can say that with the help of this tab you will always be aware of all the important information about Windows. All the information that interests you will be written in the "General" tab. Usually, manufacturers indicate there the version of the operating system, the type of system, activation requirements, and the year of release.
Step 3
You can also look at the information on the disk. Let's say that you bought a new installation disc with an operating system and you want to find out the version of Windows. As a rule, something like Windows Seven service pack 1 will be written on the disk and on the box from it. This is the version of the operating system. Windows XP pack 3 can also be written. These are two similar operating systems, which are produced by the popular Microsoft company. It is also worth noting that a new version of the Windows 8 operating system is expected soon.
Step 4
In what follows, you will understand the OS version at a glance in the system or on disk. It seems difficult at first, but it is not. As practice shows, people quickly learn to work on a computer, so try to work at a computer on your own as much as possible, without anyone's help, and in the future such problems will seem like a simple situation.
