Hit the Window key (between the Ctrl and Alt keys) and the Pause/Break key to bring up System Properties...should say what version of Windows is running.

Everest Home, but it's been discontinued.

Belarc Advisor is still available.

Send a message via ICQ to needhelp
Use the Winmsd.exe Tool to Check the System Type
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type winmsd.exe in the Open box, and then click OK.
3. Locate System Type in the right pane under Item. Note the value. • If the value that corresponds to System Type is X86-based PC, the computer is running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system.
• If the value that corresponds to System Type is Itanium–based system, the computer is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.
