The Windows 11 beta builds are now seeding to the Windows Insider program members and have had the opportunity to be one of them, we have started our tests on the preview build of the Windows OS, and so far, we are really positive about where Microsoft has gone with this project.
For those of you who don’t know, Windows 11 is the newest OS from Microsoft, and frankly, this took a lot of the tech community members by surprise, as the company had announced last year, that Windows 10 would be their last-named OS and what would follow, essentially upgraded to the same. Last month, Microsoft unveiled the Windows 11 version and while at the foundation level, it is very much a refined version of Windows 10, the visuals have been given an overhaul, and it really looks like a brand new operating system.
Now, one of the things that people are always interested in finding out, is the version of the OS that their PC is running. This may be for various reasons, and fair play to them, as this bit of information can prove helpful in many cases.
If you are interested in finding out the version of Windows 11 that your PC is running, it is actually a very simple procedure.
