Non-tech savvy users will definitely benefit from this!

FYI: This clue only applies if you did not change the look and feel of one Windows to another (e.g. Windows 10 having the look and feel of Windows 7).

Which Windows are you using?

The Clue:

Look at the Start Menu/Start Button.

Windows 7 (The Start Button is a circle (very obvious!) with the colourful Microsoft logo):

Windows 7 (Adapted from Wikipedia.org)

Windows 8 or 8.1 (Kind of self-explanatory):

Windows 8 (Adapted from Wikipedia.org)

Windows 10 (The Start button is now aligned with other application icons, simpler with a one-contrasting colour of the Microsoft logo):

Windows 10 Home Version 20H2 Desktop (Adapted from Wikipedia.org)

That’s it! 😊 You can now easily identify Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 and 10! 🎉
