Hi folks,
Hey guys, if you want to know which operating system you are using & its version, there are 2 ways to do it as follows;
- Using Command Prompt
- Using Programming
1. Using Command Prompt
- Go to Start Menu
- Go to Run
- Type cmd & press Enter/return. Command Prompt will open.
- Type ver & press Enter/return, you will get the Name of your OS & its Version that you are using
Here I have used, ver command one of the DOS commands which returns Name of Operating System and its version.
2. Using Programming
Here we are using a Java Program to find the operating system you are using & its version :
package com.si.java.utility.os; /** * * Language : Java * File : MyOS.java * Date : Tuesday, October 5, 2010 * @author Atul Palandurkar * Email : atul.palandurkar@gmail.com * Website : www.shardainfotech.com * Blog : https://atulpalandurkar.wordpress.com * */ public class MyOS { public static void main(String[] arg) { //To find the name of operating system. String myOS = System.getProperty("os.name"); System.out.println("Operating System : " + myOS); //To find the version of operating system. String myOSVersion = System.getProperty("os.version"); System.out.println("Version : " + myOSVersion); } }
So, what are you waiting for?
Use it to create various system utilities & have fun.
