How To Check .NET Version on Windows 10

There’s no denying that without .Net framework, you are not allowed to download some software. I’ve got a good example for you. When I tried to install the NordVPN on Windows 10, it didn’t let me complete the task because of the missing .Net Framework. Even for some websites, you can’t visit them until you’ve installed the .Net latest version.

So to stay tuned with the newly introduced products, some of us like to determine the .NET Framework Versions. There’s nothing wrong with it. That’s why I present to you a fully prepared guide on How To Check .NET Version on Windows 10. There are multiple ways to complete this task, let’s talk about them one-by-one.

3 Ways Check .NET Version on Windows 10

1) Use PowerShell

• Right-click on the start menu button and select “Windows PowerShell (Admin)”
