Quick Tip: What Version of Windows Do You Have?
In this Quick Tip blog post, I will help you navigate your version of Windows to find the exact details that I will need during our remote calls. There are different versions of Windows 10 and 11, so please follow this step-by-step guide to find that information.

On the “About” page, you’ll see many details as to the exact version of Windows you’re using. It may say something like “Home” or “Pro”. This matters, so please mention it to me during our initial remote call.
If Desktop Icons are enabled in any version of Windows, an alternative shortcut to find the exact version of Windows you’re using is by right-clicking “This PC”, then left-clicking “Properties”.
