Let’s understand Windows 10 Version Numbers and Build Numbers. This post will try to keep the Windows 10 version Numbers and Windows 10 build numbers. The latest version of Windows 10 is released on August 8th, 2023.
There were many issues with Windows 10 upgrades and the quality of upgrades. There are fewer hotfixes released in the latest versions of Windows 10. So Windows 10 quality is getting stabilized with new versions.
The next generation of Windows might be announced at any time. I have a more detailed blog post in this Microsoft Almost Announced The Next Generation Of Windows | Windows 10X Is Not The Next Generation Anymore. You can check Windows 11 build numbers are also documented.
You can download the Windows 11 Onboarding Kit to help you prepare, educate, and support people in your organization before, during, and after Windows 11 migration. I know many organizations have already started the preparation work for Windows 11 migration.

[1] More specific than a version number, at least in Windows, is a build number, often indicating exactly what major update or service pack has been applied to that Windows version. This is the last number shown in the version number column, like 7600 for Windows 7. Some sources note the build number in parenthesis, like 6.1 (7600).
[2] Windows XP Professional 64-bit had its own version number of 5.2. As far as we know, that’s the only time Microsoft has designated a special version number for a specific edition and architecture-type of a Windows operating system.
[3] Service pack updates to Windows XP did update the build number but in a very minor and long-winded way. For example, Windows XP with SP3 and other small updates is listed as having a version number of 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_qfe.130704-0421 : Service Pack 3).
How to Update Windows
To update Windows to the newest build number, use Windows Update. The built-in Windows Update utility is the easiest way to check for and install Windows updates.
If you haven’t set up your version of Windows to install updates automatically, you can change the Windows Update settings so that new updates are downloaded and applied automatically. It’s the simplest way to keep Windows updated to the latest version number.
Major Changes in Windows 10
Microsoft introduced several changes to the Windows operating system with Windows 10. These are some of the most significant differences between Windows 10 and Windows 8 (and older versions of Windows):
- Cortana comes built-in to Windows 10
- Microsoft Edge is pre-installed as a replacement browser for Internet Explorer
- Brand-new versions of Mail, Calendar, Maps, and Photos
- Expanded notifications are available through Windows Action Center
- User interface that works well with both touch screen displays and traditional monitors that use a keyboard and mouse
- Windows 10’s Start menu replaces the full-screen Windows 8 Start Screen
- Microsoft Paint 3D replaces Microsoft Paint
- Share files wirelessly with other PCs using Windows Nearby Sharing
- Set quiet hours by blocking notifications with Windows Focus Assist
- Windows Hello lets you log in to Windows 10, apps, and websites with your face
- Play Xbox One games on your Windows computer

You may not have really thought about Windows build numbers in the past unless it was part of your job to do so. But they’ve become more important with Windows 10. Here’s how to find out what build—and edition and version—of Windows 10 you’re running.
What Do Build Versions Mean?
Windows has always used build numbers. They represent significant updates to Windows. Traditionally, most people have referred to Windows based on the major, named version they’re using—Windows Vista, 7, 8, and so on. Within those versions, we also had service packs to refer to: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, for example.
With Windows 10, things have changed a bit. For one thing, Microsoft claimed there would be no more new versions of Windows (though the company obviously changed its plans and launched Windows 11.) Microsoft has also done away with service packs, instead moving to releasing two big builds each year. If you really need to refer to a specific version of Windows it’s easiest to refer to it by its version number. Microsoft has hidden the version number somewhat in an attempt to make Windows 10 look always-up-to-date, but it’s not hard to find.
In addition to builds, there also are still different editions of Windows 10—Home, Professional, Enterprise, and so on—with different features. Microsoft is also still offering both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Windows 10, as well.
How to Check Windows Version with the Settings App
The new Settings app also offers build, edition, and version information in a user-friendly form. Hit Windows+I to open Settings. In the Settings window, navigate to System > About. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see the information you’re after.
Navigate to System > About and scroll down. You’ll see the «Version» and «Build» numbers here.
- Edition. This line tells you which edition of Windows 10 you’re using—Home, Professional, Enterprise, or Education. If you’re using Home and you’d like to upgrade to Professional, you can upgrade to the Professional edition from within Windows 10. Switching to Windows 10 Enterprise or Education editions will require a complete reinstall and a special key that isn’t made available to normal home Windows users.
- Version. The version number gives you the best information on what version of Windows 10 you’re running. The number was originally based on the date of the most recent large build release and uses a YYMM format. For example, in the screenshot above, the «1607» version tells us that the version we’re running is from the 7th month (July) of 2016. That’s the big Anniversary Update of Windows 10. The Fall Creators Update was released in September of 2017, so it’s version 1709.Newer Windows 10 updates are named based on the which half of the year they come out in. For example, the latest Windows 10 update is 22H2 — which tells you that it was released in the second half of 2022. An update released in May of 2023 would be called 23H1, and so on.
- OS Build. This line shows the specific operating system build you’re running. It gives you sort of a timeline of minor build releases in between the major version number releases. In the screenshot above, the «14393.693» build was actually the 13th build released after version 1607 shipped in July, 2016. This information is somewhat less important to most people than the major version numbers, but it can still help you identify exactly what you’re running. If you’re curious, you can check out the whole history of versions and builds for Windows 10 on Microsoft’s TechNet site.
- System Type. This line tells you whether you’re using the 32-bit version of Windows 10 or the 64-bit version. It also tells you whether your PC is compatible with the 64-bit version or not. For example, «64-bit operating system, x64-based processor» indicates you’re using a 64-bit version of Windows 10 on a 64-bit processor. «32-bit operating system, x64-based processor» indicates you’re using a 32-bit version of Windows 10, but you could install the 64-bit version on your hardware if you preferred.
Find Your Windows Edition and Build Number with the Winver Dialog
You can also use the old standby Windows Version (winver) tool to find some of this information. Hit Start, type «winver,» and then press Enter. You could also press Windows Key + R, type «winver» into the Run dialog, and press Enter.
The second line in the «About Windows» box tells you which version and build of Windows 10 you have. Remember, the version number is in the form YYMM—so 1607 means the 7th month of 2016. A couple of lines down, you’ll see the edition of Windows 10 you’re using—Windows 10 Pro in our example.
The «About Windows» box does not show whether you’re using a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows 10, but it does give you a quicker way to check your version and build than navigating through the Settings app.
All this information—edition, version, build number, and build type—can be important if you’re trying to determine whether Windows 10 has received a specific update, whether you have access to a feature available only in certain editions, or whether you should download the 64- or 32-bit version of a program. And, if you’re super interested in keeping up with it, we even have a way to display your build number right on your desktop. Enjoy!
Самый простой способ быстро узнать версию и билд операционной системы Windows, установленной на компьютере – нажать сочетание клавиш
Win+R
и выполнить команду
winver
.
На скриншоте видно, что на компьютере установлена Windows 10 версия 22H2 (билд 19045.3324). Как номер релиза, так и номер сборки (билда) Windows позволяет однозначно идентифицироваться версию операционной системы на компьютере.
Также можно открыть окно с информацией о системе с помощью сочетания клавиш
Win+Pause
. Это откроет соответствующий раздел Settings (System -> About) или окно свойств системы (в зависимости от версии Windows).
Начиная с Windows 10 20H2, классическое окно свойств системы в Control Panel скрыто и не доступно для прямого запуска. Чтобы вызвать его, выполните команду
shell:::{bb06c0e4-d293-4f75-8a90-cb05b6477eee}
.
Можно получить информацию о билде и версии Windows, установленной на компьютере, из командной строки.
Выполните команду:
systeminfo
Можно отфильтровать вывод утилиты:
systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /B /C:"OS Version"
Или воспользуйтесь WMI командой:
wmic os get Caption, Version, BuildNumber, OSArchitecture
Аналогом команды systeminfo в PowerShell является командлет Get-ComputerInfo:
Get-ComputerInfo | select OsName, OsVersion, WindowsVersion, OsBuildNumber, OsArchitecture
Главный недостаток командлета Get-ComputerInfo – он выполняется довольно долго. Если вам нужно быстро узнать версию и билд Windows из скрипта PowerShell, лучше воспользоваться одной из следующий конструкций.
Версия Windows в переменной окружения:
[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version
Из WMI класса:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | fl -Property Caption, Version, BuildNumber
В современных версиях PowerShell Core 7.x вместо командлета Get-WmiObject нужно использовать Get-CimInstance:
Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem | fl -Property Caption, Version, BuildNumber, OSArchitecture
Значение параметра OSArchitecture позволяет определить установлена ли на компьютере
x86
или
x64
версия Windows.
Можно получить номер билда и версии непосредственно из реестра Windows.
Reg Query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v ProductName
Reg Query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v DisplayVersion
Reg Query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CurrentBuild
или
Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"| select ProductName, DisplayVersion, CurrentBuild
С помощью параметров реестра
ProductVersion
,
TargetReleaseVersion
и
TargetReleaseVersionInfo
в ветке HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate вы можете указать версию Windows, до которой ваш компьютер может автоматически обновиться. Эти параметры позволяют также запретить автоматическое обновление ОС до Windows 11.
Вы можете получить информацию о версии Windows на удаленном компьютере через PowerShell Remoting:
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion' | Select-Object ProductName, ReleaseID, CurrentBuild} -ComputerName wksPC01
Или WMI/CIM:
Get-ciminstance Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName wksPC01 | Select PSComputerName, Caption, OSArchitecture, Version, BuildNumber | FL
Если компьютер добавлен в домен Active Directory, вы можете получить информацию о версии/билде Windows на компьютере из атрибутов компьютера в AD (как получить список версий и билдов Windows в домене Active Directory).
