What Version of Windows Do I Have

See which version of Windows your browser reports, read from your user agent.

Runs in your browser, nothing sent
what-version-of-windows-do-i-have

Read from your browser's user agent string. Windows 10 and 11 both report the same underlying version (NT 10.0) and can't be told apart this way โ€” check Settings > System > About on the device itself for the exact edition. Newer browsers increasingly send a generic/frozen user agent for privacy, which can make this unreliable. Nothing is sent to a server; this is read and shown entirely in your browser.

What is What Version of Windows Do I Have?

Reads the Windows NT version from your browser's user agent string and translates it to the familiar marketing name (Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10/11), a quick check without digging through Settings. The check runs entirely in your browser, with nothing sent to a server. But since the underlying NT version number hasn't changed between Windows 10 and 11, and some browsers now freeze or generalize their user agent for privacy, treat the result as a quick reference rather than a definitive system report.

How to Use This Tool

  1. 1

    Open This Page on Windows: Visit this page on the device you want to check.

  2. 2

    Read the Detected Version: The Windows version and bitness, parsed from the user agent string, appear automatically.

How It Works

Windows includes a `Windows NT X.X` token inside `navigator.userAgent` (for example, `Windows NT 10.0`), and this tool looks for that token, maps it to the familiar marketing name, and also reports whether the build string indicates 64-bit. It's parsed entirely in your browser; nothing about your device is sent to a server.

Why This Might Be Wrong or Say "Not Windows"

The user agent is self-reported by the browser, not verified by Windows or this site. Results can be wrong or missing because: you're on a non-Windows device; the underlying NT version number genuinely hasn't changed between Windows 10 and 11 (both report `NT 10.0`), so this method fundamentally can't distinguish the two, regardless of user agent freshness; browsers increasingly send a generalized or frozen user agent for privacy (Chrome's User-Agent Reduction effort is a notable example that specifically flattened Windows version detail); or a browser is deliberately sending a different platform's tokens for site compatibility. For the exact edition, check Settings > System > About on the device itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about What Version of Windows Do I Have.

No, both report the same underlying NT 10.0 version in the user agent, so they can't be distinguished this way. Check Settings > System > About on the device for the exact edition.

Either you're not on a Windows device, or your browser sends a generic/frozen user agent for privacy, which is increasingly common.

Settings > System > About on the device itself is authoritative and will correctly distinguish Windows 10 from 11, unlike a user-agent-based check.
