Outlook is a powerful application for managing your email, contacts, and calendar. Follow these steps to find out which version of Outlook is installed on your computer.

1. In Outlook, choose File.

   

2. Select Office Account.

   If you don't see Office Account, option, choose Help. You'll see the product version on the right side of the page.

3. You'll find your version and build number under Product Information. For example, yours may list Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, and you can see which apps it contains by their icons.

4. If you need to know whether you're using the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version of Outlook, select About Outlook.

   

5. The top of the About Outlook box shows the version number and 32-bit or 64-bit distinction.

   

Some Outlook features are only available as part of Outlook for Microsoft 365 or the Office Insider program.

Select File > Office Account. If you see Microsoft 365 or Office Insider, you're running Outlook for Microsoft 365 Current Channel or an Insider build.

If you're using Windows 10, and your Outlook doesn't match the images here, there are two possible reasons.

1. You're using an older, unsupported version of Outlook, such as Outlook 2003. You can often find the Outlook product version by selecting Help > About.

2. You're using Windows 10 Mail. Windows 10 Mail is a free program included with all Windows 10 computers. If you're using Windows 10 Mail, your Inbox will look something like this.

To learn more about Windows 10 Mail, see Windows 10 Mail and Calendar FAQ.
