Windows 11 版本号是什么意思？
微软(Microsoft)将继续更新Windows 11，理论上每年都会发布一次重大更新。每个更新都有一个特定的版本号，并且每个更新都带有新功能、新应用程序、引擎盖下的更改和改进等等。目前，只有一个Windows 11版本向公众发布：
- 版本 21H2或内部版本 22000 - (Version 21H2 )Windows 11的初始版本，于2021(October 2021)年 10 月推出。这是其最佳功能(best features)的列表。
- 版本 22H2(Version 22H2) - Windows 11的下一个版本，可能会在2022 年 10 月(October 2022)之前由微软(Microsoft)发布。在撰写本文时，该公司并未宣布确切的发布日期，因此我们只是分享我们的最佳猜测。
Windows 11 版本：它们有什么不同？
您可以在您的计算机或设备上安装以下Windows 11版本之一：(Windows 11)
- Windows 11 家庭版(Windows 11 Home)。这是面向家庭用户的主要Windows 11版本之一。(Windows 11)它包括消费者功能，需要互联网连接和Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft account)才能完成初始设置。它缺少BitLocker加密或虚拟化等业务功能。
- 视窗 11 专业版(Windows 11 Pro)。这是Windows 11的第二个主要版本。它包括家庭(Home)版的所有内容，还为业务环境和高级用户添加了功能，例如BitLocker和加入域的能力。
- 适用于工作站的 Windows 11 专业版(Windows 11 Pro for Workstations)。与 Windows 11 Pro类似，但它还支持对专业人士有用的其他工具，例如高级处理、弹性数据存储和更快的文件共享。
- 视窗 11 SE(Windows 11 SE)。这是专为低端计算机设计的Windows 11版本，面向教育和学术组织。(Windows 11)
- Windows 11 教育版(Windows 11 Education)。与Windows 11 SE(Windows 11)一样(Just)，此版本专为学术组织而设计。但是，它具有更多功能，并且并非专门针对低端设备。
- Windows 11 企业版(Windows 11 Enterprise)。它提供了Windows 11 Pro的所有功能，以及帮助网络管理员和技术型公司的附加功能。
除了上面列出的Windows 11版本外，微软(Microsoft)还可能销售其他类型的专用版本，例如N和KN。这些是不附带Windows Media Player、Groove Music和其他多媒体功能的Windows 11版本。(Windows 11)N 版本在欧洲(Europe)销售，而 KN 版本在韩国(Korea)销售。它们的存在只是为了遵守这些地区的反垄断法，在这些地区，微软(Microsoft)因滥用其垄断地位损害竞争的视频和音频应用程序而被判有罪。N 和 KN 可适用于各种版本的Windows 11. 例如，您可以拥有Windows 11 Home N、Windows 11 Pro N等。
Windows 11 操作系统的构建是什么？
每次对Windows 11应用重大更新时，操作系统内部版本(OS Build)号都会增加。如果您需要了解您使用的Windows 11版本，此信息会很有帮助，如前面“Windows 11 版本号是什么意思？”中所述。(“What do Windows 11 version numbers mean?” )本指南的部分。此外，它们对于故障排除也很有用。例如，如果您偶然发现错误并联系 Microsoft 的支持工程师，OS Build会让他们知道您的(OS Build)Windows 11的确切版本以及修复该问题需要哪些更新。您可以在此处找到有关Windows 11(Windows 11)内部版本号演变的更多信息：Windows 11 发布信息(Windows 11 release information)。
Windows 11 系统类型是什么？
系统类型仅告诉您Windows 11使用处理器的 64 位寄存器。由于Windows 11仅适用于 64 位处理器，我们发现此信息相当多余。
您使用什么 Windows 11 版本？
现在您知道如何查找您拥有的Windows 11版本。离开之前，请与我们分享您的Windows 11版本、版本和内部版本号。我们很想与读者一起发现最受欢迎的Windows 11版本。(Windows 11)

If yоu want to know whether you have the latest version of Windows 11 installed, how to check what version, build, or type of Windows 11 you’re running, read this guide:
What version of Windows 11 do I have? The fast way
The quickest way to find out what version of Windows 11 you have is to use the winver tool. Click or tap on the search button next to Start, type winver and select the search result bearing the same name: winver.
Search and run winver in Windows 11
Alternatively, you could press the Windows + R keys to launch the Run window, type winver in its Open text field, and then press Enter or OK.
Type and run winver from the Run window
The winver command opens a window called About Windows. In it, you get to see the Windows 11 version you have, as well as its OS Build and the Windows 11 edition you own. For example, on my desktop PC, I have Windows 11 Pro, version 21H2, OS Build 22000.556.
About Windows tells you the Windows 11 version, build, and edition
Do you want to know more? Read the last sections of this article to find out what Windows 11 versions and editions are there, and what OS build numbers mean.
How to check what Windows 11 version you use from the Settings app
An alternative way to find out what Windows 11 you have is offered by the Settings app. Start by opening the Settings app: a fast way to do that is to simultaneously press Windows + I on your keyboard. Then, select System on the left sidebar, and click or tap About on the right side of the window.
In Windows 11's Settings, go to System > About
This opens the About page from the Settings app. On it, you get details regarding your computer and operating system. The information we’re looking for is:
- System type - listed under Device specifications, it tells you that Windows 11 is a 64-bit operating system
- Edition - shown in the Windows specifications section, tells you what Windows 11 edition you own: Pro, Home, Enterprise, Education, etc.
- Version - listed in the Windows specifications section, displays the version of Windows 11 currently installed
- OS Build - also part of the Windows Specifications list, shows you the exact Windows 11 build you’re using

Then, press the Enter key to execute it and see the information you need.
Find your Windows 11 version and build number using wmic in cmd
Alternatively, you can also use this command to get the same information:
Find your Windows 11 version and build number using systeminfo in cmd
As you might’ve noticed, the commands output information that looks a bit different from the one shown by graphical tools we’ve talked about in the previous sections of this guide (winver and the Settings app). The commands list Windows 11’s Version as a series of numbers that also include the OS build. In the earlier examples, the build numbers are 22000, which comes after 10.0. This build number is the one that helps you make sense of the exact Windows 11 version you’re using, so continue reading.
What do Windows 11 version numbers mean?
Microsoft will keep on updating Windows 11 and, theoretically, release one major update each year. Each update has a specific version number, and each one comes with new features, new apps, under-the-hood changes and improvements, and so on. For now, there’s only one Windows 11 version released to the general public:
- Version 21H2 or build 22000 - The initial release of Windows 11, launched in October 2021. Here’s a list of its best features.
- Version 22H2 - The next release of Windows 11, will probably be released by Microsoft before October 2022. When writing this article, the company didn’t announce the exact launch date, so we’re just sharing our best guess.
Windows 11 editions: What’s different about them?
You can have one of the following editions of Windows 11 installed on your computer or device:
- Windows 11 Home. This is one of the main Windows 11 editions, intended for home users. It includes consumer features and requires an internet connection and a Microsoft account to complete the initial setup. It lacks business features like BitLocker encryption or virtualization.
- Windows 11 Pro. This is the second main edition of Windows 11. It includes everything from the Home edition but also adds features for business environments and power users, such as BitLocker and the ability to join a domain.
- Windows 11 Pro for Workstations. Similar to Windows 11 Pro, but it also includes support for additional tools useful to professionals, like advanced processing, resilient data storage, and faster file-sharing.
- Windows 11 SE. This one is an edition of Windows 11 designed for low-end computers and addressed to education and academic organizations.
- Windows 11 Education. Just like Windows 11 SE, this edition is designed for academic organizations. However, it comes with more features, and it’s not targeted exclusively at low-end devices.
- Windows 11 Enterprise. It provides all the features of Windows 11 Pro, with additional features to assist network administrators and technology-oriented companies.
Besides the Windows 11 editions listed above, Microsoft might also sell other types of specialized editions, such as N and KN. These are editions of Windows 11 that don’t come with Windows Media Player, Groove Music, and other multimedia features. N versions are sold in Europe, while KN versions are available in Korea. They exist only to comply with antitrust laws in these regions, where Microsoft has been found guilty of abusing its monopoly to hurt competing video and audio applications. N and KN can apply to various editions of Windows 11. For example, you can have Windows 11 Home N, Windows 11 Pro N, etc.
What's the Windows 11 OS build?
The OS Build number increases each time significant updates are applied to Windows 11. This information is helpful if you need to know the version of Windows 11 you use, as explained earlier in the “What do Windows 11 version numbers mean?” section of this guide. Furthermore, they’re also useful for troubleshooting purposes. For example, if you stumble upon a bug and contact Microsoft’s support engineers, the OS Build lets them know your exact version of Windows 11 and what updates are required to fix the issue. You can find out more about the evolution of Windows 11 build numbers here: Windows 11 release information.
What’s the Windows 11 system type?
The system type only tells you that Windows 11 uses the 64-bit register of the processor. As Windows 11 only works on 64-bit processors, we find this information rather redundant.
What Windows 11 version and edition do you use?
Now you know how to find the Windows 11 version and edition you have. Before leaving, share your Windows 11 version, edition, and build number with us. We are curious to discover the most popular Windows 11 editions with our readers.
