There are many ways to find out what operating system your computer works. For example - visiting This page of the site Microsoft. Immediately under the heading, it will be indicated from which OS the entrance is made.
Windows 32- or 64-bit?
If previous manipulations are not enough, and you want to know the answer to the question about the discharge of the system, we read this item. Information about which version of Windows (32 or 64-bit) is installed on your machine, will have a significant impact on the choice and installation of software, computer games, the “iron” set, sometimes even its arrangement by the maternal slots. So:
- we go to “Start”, find “My Computer” and click on the icon with a right button.
- at the very bottom of the context menu, select “Properties”;
- the “System” window opens, with a detailed description of the main characteristics of the OS, including an indication of the discharge;
- if nothing is said about him, the 32-bit system.
Commands to obtain information about the system on a computer
You can find out the version of the Windows PC by means of a command for a console line. Call the latter by writing Run in the “Start” search bar or by pressing the Win+R buttons. Enter the Winver command and get a description of the assembly, the current service pack, the owner of the license for the OS. An alternative team that will also show the numerical version of the assembly - Systeminfo. By indirect signs, you can also understand something. For example, if the screen does not have the usual “Start” button - you have Windows 8 or higher. Information about the type of operating system is simply found through special programs that will be useful to you in the future. For example, these are EVEREST, ASTRA32, SIW, ESET NOD and others. To download Everest to diagnose your computer, go to the official page of the manufacturer’s site.
System information in Windows 8
Win 8 is easy to find out by beautiful tile design (which, however, easily switches to more traditional). If you need to understand which version of the “eight” we use, we will bring the mouse cursor to the lower right corner and click “Find”. We introduce “information about the system” here, click on the “system” -›“ information ”› “information” owl, see the type of assembly, biting, iron characteristics, and productivity index. In OS X, the type of “operating room” is written in the “MAC” section, which is easy to find through the main menu. We learn the full information about the Mcsestum through the built-in utility of the same name. It opens from the catalog of programs in the “Utility” folder-›Subsection“ Information ”.
If you do not know anything at all about the operating system with which the computer came to you, guided by external signs. On OS X below there will be a long animated panel with icons, Linux has a “Menu” button instead of “start -up”, a complete absence of a graphic interface and a command line - MS DOS, *NIX without a graphic shell and some others. In Windows OEM versions, you need to look at the activation key-the letters OEM in its composition are an answer.
