Solved Windows 10 says Windows 8

[igiveup]

I know I have Windows 10 installed on this computer. The SysInfo utility verifies this. But when I open file explorer and look at "This PC" it says Windows 8. What's up with that?

Type winver in the search or run box, then press the Enter key.
When that small window appears, advise us what's listed in it.
Better yet, submit an image of that small window.

Could be the C drive "Label".

If it's just the drive name, right click on it and choose Rename.

Hello All - the SysInfo shows my graphics card as 1GB on board memory, that's wrong as it has 2GB. Maybe the utility has a problem!

Or you can rename.

You have integrated Intel graphics, it actually has no memory of it's own and shares or borrows memory from the regular system RAM. It makes little difference if it shows 1Gb or 2Gb, the GPU doesn't really benefit from that extra 1GB as the performance of the GPU isn't likely powerful enough to fully utilize all that memory anyways.
