Following on from the Internet Explorer Update – Is there an easy method to update Microsoft Internet Explorer? article, we had a few questions around working out whether an update is required.
This is a quicktip to show you how to work out your current Internet Explorer version. It also works for most other Microsoft software, as well as software from other companies.
This tip is written for Windows operating systems.
1. Open up the software program such as Internet Explorer.
2. Find the Help option in the menu bar (usually at the top of the window for most programs), then click on About Internet Explorer (or About other program name)
You will then see a window similar to the one shown on the right, and toward the top you can see the current version number of your software install.
If your system shows a version older than Internet Explorer 8 then you should strongly consider Microsoft Internet Explorer updates to get the full advantages of more secure and faster web browsing.
