Although you will not see the “Fall Creators Update” reference anywhere, Microsoft assigns a version number to each feature update of Windows 10. In the case of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the version number is 1709, the Windows 10 Creators Update is version 1703, and the Anniversary Update is version 1607. As always, the version number reflects the year and month when the update is available; the company has already announced that new version will start rolling out worldwide on October 17, 2017. In this guide, you’ll learn a few ways to find out if your PC is running the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

Using the winver command
The first method includes using the winver command on Run to find out the version number of Windows 10 installed on your PC: If the About Windows dialog shows “Version 1709” along with “OS Build 16299.xxx,” then the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is installed on your PC.

Once you’re in the About page, on “Version”, you should see the 1709 number, and under “OS Build”, the number should be 16299.192 or later.
