Whenever you upgrade or simply troubleshooting your personal computer, you should always know what version your Windows OS is using. This is important because of so many compatibility issues with drivers and hardwares. You can also cross reference with the support group so you can precisely fix what the problem is without having too much of a hassle. To get the version, you need to turn on your computer and watch out for the Welcome screen. Take note of the version. It may display any of the following, Windows 98, ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. Click the Start menu, click Control Panel, then click System. In the General tab, you should be able to find the version of the current operating system. Then write it down a piece of paper so you can refer to it when you fix on some conflicts in the PC.
