Windows Operating System Version Numbers
Before you deploy any software it is good to know windows operating system version numbers. To determine the version of the operating system that is currently running, you can use version helper functions. Identifying the current operating system is usually not the best way to determine whether a particular operating system feature is present. If you must require a particular operating system, be sure to use it as a minimum supported version, rather than design the test for the one operating system.
There are multiple ways to find the OS version. Here is the link to one of my old post which shows how to get OS version using command line.
The easiest way to determine the operating system version number is using the ver command.
Windows Operating System Version Numbers
The below table shows the list of windows versions. In the below table if you look carefully at the operating system version number it is made of up Major Version, Minor Version and Build number. I have tried to add all the OS version numbers, if I have missed any, do write in the comments. I will update this table as Microsoft brings in new OS in the market.

You guys can just run the ver or systeminfo commands in the command prompt on a Windows server to find the operating system version number, for the ones that aren’t on this list. Then make your device collection off of that version.
Thanks for posting this!
just missing 2016 which is 10.1.14393
Update this for 2016 and 2019
Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 are out, both with main release 10.0. This gets funny now to distinguish!
Does Intel driver ver 10.1.1.44 work with Windows 8.1?. What happens if I install it.
Hello Prajwal,
can you please update this list?
I can’t find the version for server 2019, so I can’t create a seperate SCCM collection for 2019.
