Final answer:

To check the installed .NET Framework version, you can use the Registry Editor by using the 'regedit' command in the Run dialog and navigating to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\'. Versions can also be found via Command Prompt, PowerShell, or third-party software.

Step-by-step explanation:

To check the version of the .NET Framework installed on your Windows computer, you can use a few different methods. One of the quickest ways is to use the Registry Editor. Here's how:

  1. Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type 'regedit' and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
  3. Navigate to the following key: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\'.
  4. The versions are listed under NDP, with each version having its own folder.

For a less technical approach, you can also find .NET Framework versions through certain applications like Command Prompt or PowerShell, where specific commands may be run to list installed versions, or through third-party software designed to detect .NET Framework versions.
