You can easily find the Windows version using PowerShell. Here are two methods:
1. Using the $OS
Variable:
The $OS
variable stores various system information, including the Windows version. You can access this information using the following command:
$OS.Version
This command will output the Windows version, such as "10.0.19041."
2. Using the Get-ComputerInfo
Cmdlet:
The Get-ComputerInfo
cmdlet provides detailed system information, including the Windows version. You can access this information using the following command:
Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object -Property OperatingSystem
This command will output the Windows version in a more readable format, such as "Windows 10 Enterprise".
Example:
Here's an example of how to use both methods to find the Windows version:
# Using the $OS variable
$OS.Version
# Using the Get-ComputerInfo cmdlet
