Final answer:

To find the version of the .NET Framework installed, you can use the Windows Registry by navigating to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\', or use the Command Prompt and enter 'dotnet --version' or 'dotnet --info'.

Step-by-step explanation:

To see what version of .NET is installed on a Windows computer, you can use several methods, one of which involves using the Windows Registry. Here is a step-by-step process:

  1. Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type 'regedit' and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
  3. Navigate to the following path: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\'.
  4. The version numbers of the installed .NET frameworks will be listed under the NDP key.

An alternative method is to check the version using command prompt:

  1. Open Command Prompt by typing 'cmd' in the search box next to the Start menu and select Command Prompt from the search results.
  2. Type 'dotnet --version' or 'dotnet --info' and press Enter. The installed .NET Core version will be displayed.

Remember that these instructions are for Windows users, and the procedures may differ for those using different operating systems.
