Each user who watches the release of updates for the tenth version of Windows, in the end, begins to wonder whether he has the latest updates for Windows 10 installed. The latest build released for the “dozens” has a lot of innovations. To list them all makes no sense. Therefore, we dwell solely on the problem of viewing information about the version of the OS itself (not to be confused with the installed update packages).
How to know the assembly of Windows 10: brief information about the system
In order to obtain the necessary information about the system, Windows has several available tools. But in some cases, you can use the online test mode. You can view all builds of Windows 10 in 2016 or previously released on the official Microsoft resource.
However, the simplest way to view brief information is in the information, which is accessed through the right-click menu on the computer icon in the "Explorer" with a choice of the property bar. But there is a minimum of information. They mainly relate to the parameters of the processor and the amount of RAM, although it is indicated at the top that the tenth modification (official and activated) is installed as the OS.
Using winver operator
Now let's see how to find out the assembly of Windows 10 , using unknown means for many users that provide much more information about the system.
The first and easiest way is to enter the command console from the Run menu (the combination cmd is entered in the input field), in which you will need to enter the winver command and press the enter key.
After that, a special window will be displayed on the screen. There is more information in it. The first line shows the version of the system and the build number itself. If the user has the latest Anniversary Update installed, the assembly should have the number 14393.447 or 448 (the latest update for the Pro version became available on November 9, but for some reason it might not be installed automatically).
View system information
Another solution to the problem of how to find out the assembly of Windows 10 may be a tool that many users are not aware of or forget about.
There is a Windows executable file msinfo32.exe, which is responsible for launching the system information viewer. To execute it, write the name of the file without the extension (msinfo32) in the “Run” console line, since this is where all the executable components of the Windows toolkit are automatically detected.
There are several sections on the left, but to view exactly the version of the assembly, you need to use only the very first (main) one. Here, the designation of the installed assembly is slightly different from what you could see when using the command line (the numbers of the latest updates, for example 447 or 448, are not indicated, but there is a general numbering indicating the modification of Windows 10).
Using the options section
Another method that solves the issue of how to find out the assembly of Windows 10 is to first call up the options section in the Start menu, which is considered to be the second version of the Control Panel, and go to the system menu .
At the very bottom there is a line “About the system”, clicking on which, the user will receive detailed characteristics. In some ways, this information resembles a window that is called from the command line, as if combined with the properties of a computer, but there is much more information here. In addition, it is here that you can perform some additional manipulations, for example, changing a product key or using editing advanced administration tools.
Directx
Lastly, consider another tool that is unfairly ignored by many. Information on hardware and the version of the system can be obtained from the DirectX dialog box, which is called up by the dxdiag command from the Run menu.
On the very first tab, and will be presented all the basic information regarding both the hardware and some software components, including the OS assembly of interest to the user.
Instead of a total
In principle, all of the above tools are good. But to get the most information, you should choose the appropriate viewer. In the case when it comes to assembling the system, the command line, the msinfo32 operator, and the parameters section will do. But in each case, if you want to know the advanced characteristics of not only the software, but also the system part, you should choose system information or the DirectX dialog.
