I came across a lot of situations where I needed to know the exact version of the OS I was using. Mainly, because of the dependencies involved (Python, PHP, MySQL, etc).

So, open up a terminal and use the following commands in order to view the exact version of your Linux operating system.

Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise/Education

1. Press the Windows key.
2. Type: “Turn Windows features on or off” and open it.
   
3. Select/deselect “Hyper-V” from the list.
4. Click “OK”.
5. Reboot.
