With Windows 10 there&#8217;s a version number (as of this writing the current version is 1607 &#8211; also called The Anniversary Edition), and each update or change to that version is called a build, and each build has a number. When Windows releases a new &#8220;version&#8221; of Windows it will get a new version number and updates to that version will be called builds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style803\">So, how do you know if you have the latest version and build of Windows? Once you know the version and build of Windows 10 you&#8217;re using (see our prior tip &#8220;A Quick Way to Get Your Windows Version &amp; More&#8221;, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4000825\/windows-10-windows-server-2016-update-history\" target=\"_blank\">visit this Microsoft page<\/a>.<\/strong> The version and build numbers are listed with the current version and build at the top.<\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style803\">As of today, March 30, 2017, the current version is 1607 (Anniversary Edition) and the current build number\u00a014393.970.<\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style803\">But wait, there&#8217;s more. When you&#8217;re on that page, if you click on the build number you&#8217;ll see what was changed with that build, and you&#8217;ll see what problems some users have reported with that particular build. So, if you have problems with a Windows update, you&#8217;ll get all the details there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"auto-style803\"><span class=\"auto-style790\"><span class=\"auto-style747\"><span class=\"auto-style9\"><span class=\"auto-style7\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"auto-style796\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2017\/build.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve Computer Tips &amp; Ticks\" width=\"600\" height=\"334\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to Microsoft, there are no known problems with this build.
