What windows do i have? (i need to upgrade video card)?

so when i go to upgrade my video card it asks me what operating system i have. I know i have windows xp because that is what pops up when i turn on the computer. but it gives me 4 different types of window xps. which include: windows xp home edition, windows xp media center edition, windows xp professional x64 edition, and windows xp professional



so how do i go about figuring out which i have|||Strat menu > my computer > right click properties > there it is windows xp ...?? version .. :)|||Another easy way to tell if you have Windows XP 32-bit (Home/Pro/MCE/Tablet) or Windows XP 64-bit (Pro 64-bit Edition) is to go to the start menu, choose run, type in CMD, and hit enter. If it pops up with Windows XP 5.1.2600.whatever, it's a 32-bit version of XP; if it's 5.2.whatever, it's the 64-bit version. Home, Pro, and Media Center all use the same driver, where Pro 64 uses a special 64-bit driver.|||When you boot up and see "Xp" if will also say what version it is. For example, home, professional, etc.



You could always right click "my computer" and click properties. It will list all of the information.|||if it's a laptop, look for a sticker on the bottom. If it's a desktop look for a sticker on the back.|||Click Start, and then click Run.

Type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.

Click the General tab. The operating system is displayed as follows:



It will be listed there.|||There should be a sticker on your computer somewhere, on laptops its in the bottom right corner of the keyboard part, I'm not really sure where it is on desktops.|||in your desktop, right click of my computer and click properties. Then see your os version in the general tab, simply as that
