Step by Step
Identifying Your Windows Version
Each version of Microsoft Windows
is available in various editions;
Windows 7 comes in several editions,
including Home Basic, Professional,
and Enterprise, for example. Use this
procedure to determine what version
and edition of Windows you have on
your computer:
1
Click the Start button. Right-
click Computer, and choose
Properties. (Right-click means to
press only the right side of your
mouse.) An information page
appears.
2
Look under the Windows Edition
heading. The version and edi-
tion of your Windows operat-
ing system appear there. If a
service pack is installed, that
information also appears.
This topic uses Windows 7 for all its
examples.
