Default what version of windows and service pack

This should be dead easy but it is not. I have Windows 7 32 bit
ultimate. It should tell me this as well as if I have service pack one
on which I do. Why are simple things made so hard?

It should be listed as an optional update in Window$ Update, unless you
didn't keep your Win 7 updated.

On other OSes, you use the "System" control panel.

The System should display different info, after SP1 is installed.
It won't be this exact value, but this demonstrates where to look,
with respect to the previous picture.

Hold the Windows Key and press Pause/Break, or go to Control Panel --
System. This has worked on every version since NT (and possibly
earlier, I really don't recall) and it will tell you what OS you're
running, what service pack level (if any), what architecture (x86/x64),
how much memory is available and various other goodies.

All I do when in a hurry for the above information is right click on the
computer icon, the one where if you double left clicked on it would
bring up the hard drive(s) and such.

That shows me the software version, Highest service pack loaded if one
exists, 32 or 64 bit operating system, CPU chip speed info, ETC.
