You should know that if you’re running Windows 10 1909, this information will display build numbers for the previous build. The 19H1 indicates the year and the year half in which the release was ready, officially. The information isn’t in the most user-friendly format.įrom the screenshot below, the build number is 18362. The information will tell you what edition of Windows 10 you have i.e., Home or Pro, the build number, the version number accompanied by the date it was released on. When you boot back to your system, you will see the build information at the bottom right of the screen, just above the system tray. Once that’s done, you will need to restart your Windows 10 PC, or you can restart Explorer.exe. Under this key, look for a value called PaintDesktopVersion. Once the registry editor is open, navigate to the following key.

In the run box, enter the following and tap Enter. Tap the Win+R keyboard shortcut to open the run box. Use this method if you need the information to be displayed at all times so that it is automatically included in screenshots or screen recordings.

Note: if you’re just looking for a quick way to look up the build information, you can do so from the run box.
