May 12, 2022 · 1 min read · Post a comment

Today’s topic going to be all about the multiple way to get the version number for Windows 10. Even though there’s a dozen ways to do it, I’m going to stick to the most basic ones without any command line kung fu shenanigans. With that being said, copy one of the commands below and call it a day.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 10

Solution(s)

Solution no.1

Open Command Prompt and run the following command:

ver

Output:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1682]

Solution no.2

Open CMD or PowerShell it really doesn’t matter and run:

systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"

Output:

OS Name:            Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
OS Version:         10.0.19044 N/A Build 19044

Solution no.3

Using WMIC execute the following one:

wmic os get version

Output:

Version
10.0.19044

Solution no.4

PowerShell specific:

Get-ComputerInfo -Property "OSVersion"

Output:

OsVersion
---------
10.0.19044

Solution no.5

Last but not least, if you prefer GUI whatsoever.
