Windows Vista - How will I know if I have SP2 or not all ready installed on my computer?

I don't know if I have Vista Service Pack 2 all ready installed. Is there a way to know?


Hi Bobboberson,

Click on the Start button and then click Control Panel. In Control Panel, click the system icon. The "Show the basic information about your computer" window. At the top of this window, you'll see a section marked "Windows Edition" you should see the words "Windows Vista (your editing, i.e. Home Premium etc) Copyright (c) 2007 Microsoft Corporation." All rights reserved. Service Pack 2'. If you don't see that you are not running service pack 2.

    Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

    There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

    If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
