Windows 7: Verifying the Operating System Edition and Version

Do you need to find out what edition of the Windows Operating system you're running (e.g. Windows Home Basic, Home Premium, Enterprise, etc.), or if you're running the 32-bit or 64-bit version?

• From the Start menu in the search field, type WINVER

or

• From the Start menu, click Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, and then click System.
