Solution

Exit Windows, by choosing Exit from the File menu until Program Mgr and File Mgr are closed (or open the Main Window in Program Manager, and double-click on Windows Prompt icon). Then, at Windows prompt, type ver and hit return. That will return the version of Windows currently running. Or type mem to get available RAM memory.
