Windows 7 is the most popular Windows edition, but it’s not the only one out there. There are other editions of Windows, and you may be running one of them even if you’re not sure which one you’re using. Here’s a list of the most popular Windows editions: Windows 8.1 Windows 8 Windows 7 Starter Windows 7 Home Premium Windows 7 Professional Windows Vista Home Basic Windows Vista Home Premium Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
If you have a Windows 11 PC and you don’t know which edition of the operating system you’re running—Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education, or otherwise—it’s easy to quickly check. Here’s how.
Which Edition of Windows 11 Am I Running?
First, open Windows Settings. You can press Windows+i on your keyboard, or open Start and type “settings,” then click the Settings app icon.
In Settings, click “System” in the sidebar, then scroll down to the very bottom of the list and select “About.”
On the About screen, locate the “Windows Specifications” section. Beside “Edition,” you’ll see which edition of Windows 11 you are running. You might see “Windows 11 Home” or “Windows 11 Pro,” for example, depending on which edition you’re running.
Just below the “Edition” entry in the list, you’ll see the Windows version number if you need that as well. If necessary, you can copy this information to your clipboard instantly by clicking the “Copy” button. When you’re finished, close Settings. Good luck!
