Question

I am running Windows 8.1, but whenever I request info, the screen states I am running Windows 8. What can I do?

Community Answer

Open the run box (WIN key + R) and type "winver" without quotation marks. Also check the Internet Explorer Version. If it says "10" you're running Windows 8. If it says "11", then you're running 8.1.
