How to display the version of windows as a watermark on desktop (beta of windows 7 is way)

I scoured the internet for a while now (since the beta version of Windows 7 released) because I love how the OS version is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen, it is clear and precise, and I wanted to do this with all the operating systems on my computer, so I turned to google for help and all that I could find was to know how with XP When appreciated (I already knew tweak UI) did not help with VISTA that seems impervious to be highlighted, I want some people to see which version of vista that I use because I never had any problem that are not my fault.

I really really want not just add text to each wallpaper I'll never use, not to mention the text in images tends to hurt to scale.

  • How to check the version of windows and the number of bits?

    Dear Sir

    As I could not download and watch a video show, I was told to check the version of windows and the number of bits. I remembered the upgrade to version 10 of Windows when you are prompted before. However, when I clicked on 'This PC' to check the C:\ drive, it shows Windows8_OS (C :).  It is quite misleading.  Can I know how to check & confirm the correct version of Windows and where to find the number of bits as well?

    Thank you.

    Looks like you're on windows 10, but after the upgrade is not changed the label of the hard drive.

    Type winver in the run box-press windows key + R box simultaneously.

    If the Windows 10 Build 10XXX State, you're on windows 10.

    Simply right click C: / and select Rename and rename the drive in Windows10OS or what you want.

  • How to know the version of windows without starting windows?

    Hello.

    There is no way to discover the version of windows 7 (home, home premium, professional...) on a computer where windows does not start? (it does not start in normal mode or safe mode). I can start the computer with linux and browse the folders. At the back of the lapto there is the cd key but not the version.

    Thank you very much
    Alessandro

    I'm sorry I already solved and not notified you...

    I tried with a Windows home version found on the internet and it worked with the cd key on the back of the laptop.

    Thanks for the suggestion anyway, if I'm having this problem again (with another laptop, that belong to one of my friends), your suggestions will be very useful!

    Thank you

  • How to display the version of "telephone" of the site on a desktop browser?

    I want to be able to get a preview of the version 'phone' to my site via a desktop browser while I do some troubleshooting/view source/etc... Is this possible? I swear there was something where you just change the url to force BC to serve up the phone version, but I can't find it in the forums.

    Hi Will,

    If you use the feature in British Colombia to have a phone/Tablet/desktop version of each model, you can test each device by adding? visitordeviceclass = phone OR? visitordeviceclass = compressed OR? visitordeviceclass = Office until the end of the URL of your page when you browse your site. You can also use? visitordeviceclass = default for BC to automatically detect the layout correct based on your device.

    Hope that helps.

    Hello

    I can view the version of the tools with this

    get-vm VMName | % { get-view $_.ID } | select Name, @{ Name="ToolsVersion"; Expression={$_.config.tools.toolsVersion}}

    and I can insert text into the description field with this

    But I am struggling to understand how to enter the toolsversion in the description!  I know it is not difficult, but I'm a newbie to script.

    You can do it like this

    $vm = Get-VM 
    $version = ($vm | Get-View).config.tools.toolsVersion
    Set-VM -VM $vm -Description $version -Confirm:$false

    Please send an email to * address email is removed from the privacy *

    Thanks for the help people

    Hello

    Contact the manufacturer of the computer for this problem because they know the edition of Vista has been installed at the factory.

    They will ask you for the model number and the SN (serial number), etc, which normally you will find on the computer case.

    They should, if you wish, provide you with recovery disks to reinstall the appropriate operating system. They do this for a small fee.

    Or you can borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.

    Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    See you soon.

    p.s. You get the drivers for your computer on the site from computer manufacturers. They normally have a driver and software download section to locate you, and then download these drivers.
