Although you won’t be seeing the “April 2018 Update” reference anywhere, Microsoft assigns a version number to each feature update of Windows 10. In this case the first major release of 2018 uses “version 1803,” which indicates the year and month of the update development completion. For example, the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update uses “version 1709,” and the Windows 10 Creators Update uses “version 1703.” In this guide, you’ll learn a few ways to find out if your PC is running Windows 10 version 1803.
How to tell which version of Windows 10 your PC is running
On Windows 10, there are a number of ways to check the version your device is running, but here are the two quickest and easiest ways to see if the version 1803 is installed on your device.
