Comment
1 / 1
To get the correct Windows version from the command line, you can use the ver
command or the systeminfo
command in Windows. Here's how you can use both commands:
Using the
ver
command:- Open the command prompt by pressing Win + R, typing "cmd," and pressing Enter.
- In the command prompt, type
ver
and press Enter. - The command prompt will display the Windows version information, including the major version number and the build number.
Using the
systeminfo
command:- Open the command prompt.
- Type
systeminfo
and press Enter. - The command prompt will display detailed system information, including the Windows version, build number, and other system details.
- Look for the line that starts with "OS Name" or "OS Version" to find the specific Windows version.
Both ver
and systeminfo
provide information about the Windows version, but systeminfo
provides more detailed system information. Choose the command that suits your specific needs.
These commands should work on most versions of Windows, including Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, and earlier versions.
Please note that you may need administrative privileges to run the systeminfo
command, especially if you are running it on a remote computer.
