It is quite easy to find out which Windows 11 version is installed. This article will show you the exact steps you can follow to find the Windows 11 version and build number.
Just like Windows 10, Windows 11 also has many versions and builds. Whenever you have a cumulative Windows update installs, the build number will be incremented. When you install a major Windows 11 upgrade, the version number is updated.

In general, most Windows 11 users never need to know anything about the version or build number. You can ignore them. Microsoft does not need them to provide updates or core functions.

If you are using a lower build or version than what Microsoft suggests, the feature may not be available to you.
Given all this, knowing your Windows 11 version and build number is essential. Knowing the Windows 11 version and build number can help you troubleshoot problems and determine whether a feature is available to you.
