  1. Why does Windows say I am running version 2009 when I check devices?


    I recently upgraded to windows 10 pro using my laptop and then installed on a PC after making hardware changes. I was reviewing my settings on the Microsoft website and noticed that the device shows as running Windows Pro version 2009? On the actual device it says Windows 10 Pro version 20H2. What gives?

    :)

  3. What windows am I running?

    Hi Connie,



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you have a few doubts regarding your Windows version. Let me help you.



    I suggest you to go through the below steps and check your OS version in it.

    • Go to Start, enter about your PC, and then select
      About your PC
      .
    • Look under PC for Edition to find out which version and edition of Windows that your PC is running.
    • Look under PC for System type to see if you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows.
    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the software and check if it helps.



    If the issue persists, I suggest you to install the software in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    If issue still persists, then install the drivers for Windows 8/8.1 from the manufacturer's website in compatibility mode and check if that works.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

    I hope the information helps. If not, please reply with the details and updated status of the issue. We will be happy to assist you.
