If you are using Windows 97 then hang onto it for it is worth a lot of money!
Help desks and the like are always asking such questions: Why is such basic information not more-plainly displayed* by my computer? Regards, *Where I can't possibly not see it?
IIRC Windows 95/98 (which was sppsd to be 97 but became 98 due to delay) did display it on the desktop, and there is a tweak to do that with W/10, but two simple ways is to paste winver in the Run command (hold down Windows key and r key together) and hit OK. Or paste msinfo32 in the same.
Thanx.

That right there is funny.

another good one.
Thanks for all the advice, folks! But I confess that my question was half-ironic.
My asking, "How am I to know which version of Windows I have / How can I find out?" is analogous to my 95-year-old maiden aunt asking, "The auto repairman says I need a new 'carburetor' - whatever that is! I suspect he's lying; how can I check that myself?" and my replying with some perfect technical explanation.
You folks don't seem to appreciate the irony: Anyone asking such an elementary question simply won't understand your answer.
