Sometimes you need to find out which version of Windows installed on a computer, laptop or tablet. For example, some programs and computer hardware will only work with a specific version of Windows®.
You may also need to find out if it’s time to upgrade. Microsoft usually supports each version of its operating system for about ten years, and for example, “extended Support” for Windows 7 ends January 14, 2020.
