Hi,
From the run dialog windows-r, type winver and press enter.
As far as Chris.
1. From the desktop press windows-i.
2. Press enter on control panel. Note it is the first option so just hit
enter.
3. In the search box you land on type windows update and press tab.
That should take you where you want to be.

Hey Chris,
If, for some reason, you get an off list answer, would you mind to forward
it to me as well? I don't even know how to determine which version of
Windows 8 is running on my machine.
Regards
Morné

Subject: Windows update *specifically!* in Windows 8.1
Importance: High
Guys, I am totally totally at a loss.
I am running Windows 8.1, (please don't get confused, this isn't Windows 8,
it's 8.1,) and am trying desperetly! to get to the screen where I can select
optional updates and install them. I have tried both with classic shell,
and from the actual literal Windows start screen. I've also used the charm
bar, with win+X. I see exactly how to get to the windows update screen, but
once here, I'm thrown in a list view with 3 things. Windows update, file
history, and recovery. When on Windows update, if I then tab, I cannot see
anything about how in the living hell! to get the list view where I can
check or uncheck optional updates. Googling suggests that after going to
Windows update, I should have something that says settings. Under there
should be an option for installing optional updates. But, where in the
living heck is Settings, in the first darn place? I've looked everywhere.
Further, when in windows update, if I hit enter on the install button, it
disappears, but nothing in my system tray indicates that updates are being
installed, and I see no way with the mouse pointer on that screen to find
any sort of progress indication, so frankly, I'm not even sure that it's
installing in the first place. Yes, I have administrator priveledges. I'm
totally totally at a loss! I know that important updates should be
automatically installed and downloaded, but that's not so much what I'm
concerned about. I'm! more concerned about how to see the noncumulative
updates.
Can someone walk me through from the point of being focused on my desktop,
step by step what to hit, and what Window eyes should report? There's
gotta! be a way to do this! This was so much easier in Windows 7, I swear!
Chris, who is absolutely growing to hate! Windows 8.1!
