Windows 10 Version Numbers Build Numbers Major Minor Build Rev

Let’s understand Windows 10 Version Numbers and Build Numbers. This post will try to keep the Windows 10 version Numbers and build numbers consistent. The latest version of Windows 10, KB5034763, was released on February 13, 2024.

There were many issues with Windows 10 upgrades and their quality. The latest versions of Windows 10 release fewer hotfixes, so Windows 10 quality stabilises with new versions. You can check out the following post for more details on Windows 10 EOL.

The next generation of Windows might be announced at any time. I have a more detailed blog post titled Microsoft Almost Announced The Next Generation Of Windows | Windows 10X Is Not The Next Generation Anymore. You can check Windows 11 build numbers, which are also documented.

You can download the Windows 11 Onboarding Kit to help you prepareeducate, and support people in your organization beforeduring, and after Windows 11 migration. I know many organizations have already started preparing for Windows 11 migration.

Windows 10 Version Numbers Vs. Windows 10 Build Numbers

Windows 10 version number is in the year and half of the year (H1 or H2). For example, the Windows 10 version released in April (4th Month) 2020 is Windows 10 20H1.

  • The first two (2) digits of the Windows 10 version are taken from the release year. In the above example (Windows 10 21H2), that is 2021.
  • The last two (2) digits of the Windows 10 version are taken either from
    • The first half of the calendar year – H1
    • Or the second part of the calendar year – H2.
    • In the above example – Windows 10 was released in the second half of the year.
  • Unique version numbers for the major.minor.build.rev of Windows 10 structure are as follows – Windows 10  – 10.0.19044.1202
    • Major = 10
    • Minor = 0
    • Build = 19044
    • Rev = 1202

The Windows 10 build number is based on the internal development cycle. I think it’s based on the code base of the Windows operating system. The Windows Server 2022 build number is 10.0.20348.169.

Windows 10 Wrong Version Numbers

The major versions of Windows 10 for 2021 would be 21H1 and 21H2. There are some confusing scenarios with Windows 10 21H1 OS Versions. When you try to check the version number from the SCCM Console Operating Systems Node, you get the wrong version number, like 10.0.19041.928.

How to Find the Latest Windows 10 Version Number?

Let’s find out how to Find the Latest Windows 10 Version Number using the built-in Windows utility (WinVer.exe) and registry editor. To launch WinVer.exe, click on the Start button and type WinVer.

The next option is to double-confirm the version number from the registry editor. You can launch the registry editor using the following method:

Click on the Start button and start typing regedit to launch the Registry Editor utility.

To get the Windows 10 20H1 version number/build number details, navigate to the following path in the registry. Check the CurrentBuildNumber string value to find the Windows version details.

Let’s break down the Windows 10 21H1 and Windows 10 21H2 major.minor.build.rev version number structure for all of you. When you try to find the version number using the Winver command or from the registry, you get only the last two parts of the version numbers of Windows 10.

So the question is how to get the total version numbers of Windows 10 21H1 and 21H2. I think it’s easy to get the version number if you understand the structure of the version numbers. There are 4 (four) parts to the version number structure.

The first 2 (two) parts of version numbers are common for all the Windows releases until now. The Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows XP versions of Windows releases. It is the same for Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.

      • Hi,

        I’m trying to use System Center logs to automatically detect the update status of the computers that we have, these logs justs contains versions in the following format (10.0.18363, 10.0.17134…) and I would like to be able to mantain a CSV with each new version and build to match it. Where did you get this information from?

        Thanks

  1. My Win10/64 give wrong version # with the RtlGetVersion API. It report Build # 7600.
    I can not find, why it has been changed and how can I reset to the actual 21H1 vesrsion ?
    Thanks in advance if you have any idea.

    Endre

  2. Hi Anoop,

    Thanks for your detailed version update history. much appreciated!

    1. I have a PC that only has the base version of Windows 10 version 1507 build 10240. whats the easy way to bring it to latest 21H2 build. I tried to download few KB up from 21H1 to 2004, but the update couldn’t complete as its not suitable for build 10240 version.

    2. can you specify the best reliable source to download the respective KBs? some build version doesn’t get the KB numbers in the chart.

    • No, why should it be changed? Because Windows 11 and all other versions are all built on the same base OS … Microsoft is just adding new additional code on top of the previous versions. Hence the major version is not changed.

      I don’t think it will ever change until they reach some other limitation. Or Microsoft needs to build a new OS ground up to change the major version.

      I don’t accept a new Windows ground-up build version anymore.

    • There is no 22H1. Microsoft stopped the release of updates every 6 months. Now onwards yearly you will have only one version of Windows 10 and Windows 11 released. That will be Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 11 22H2. So there won’t be any Windows 10 22H1 and Windows 11 22H1.

  3. Hi Anoop,

    My Desktop version reported by Winver is – 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1889) and Build version reported by Regedit is – 19044. All update on my Desktop are failing with “Some update files are missing or have problems. We’ll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x8007000d)”. I have tried all solutions reported on various websites but without any success. How can I apply the latest 22H2 upgrade and keep the PC in regular patch cycle. Will the method reported by you will work?

    1. I think the best way in the scenario is In-place upgrade https://www.anoopcnair.com/windows-10-21h1-upgrade-using-sccm-task-sequence/
    2. The best way is to use SCCM or Intune to patch Windows devices regularly. Otherwise manual method to download KBS https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/search.aspx?

    Thanks

  4. Seems odd you need to add a custom MOF to add the Rev. number to Hardware Inventory. Can’t find anyone that explains the best way to do this.

  5. Thanks for the work. Just want to update you that there are typos for builds 10.0.19045.3930/10.0.19044.3930. I suppose the date of availability should read 2024, instead of 2023.

  6. > Windows 10 version number is in the year and half of the year (H1 or H2). For example, the Windows 10 version released in April (4th Month) 2020 is Windows 10 20H1.

    > The first two (2) digits of the Windows 10 version are taken from the release year. In the above example (Windows 10 21H2), that is 2021.
    > The last two (2) digits of the Windows 10 version are taken either from
    > the first half of the calendar year – H1
    > or the second part of the calendar year – H2.
    > In the above example – Windows 10 was released in the second half of the year.

    this article is mildly confusing, both paragraphically and visually;

    paragraphically: you wrote “in the above example” which precisely means “Windows 10 20H1” but then you put “Windows 10 20H2” in brackets right after that, stating it’s 2021, that is not consistent writings; and you list of special version numbers major,minor,build,rev without explaining their meanings

    visually: the first image demonstrating windows 10 version numbers has 4 footnote lines down right corner which i’m guess it’s belongs to the right-most windows iteration of the list because those 4 lines does not directly aligned to windows version 2004 19041.329, also, it would be more intuitive to prefix “10.0” or something to each iteration

  7. Does anyone know the overall total number of Window 10 patches created? I know there are around 100 per month. (This month there were 142)

    Why is Windows 10 still loaded with bugs… even after 9 years… and 1000+ of fixes?
