How to know which version I am using on Windows?

Answer 1

Windows Key + R will open the run command

Type CMD and press

Type wmic CPU get NAME and enter

For me it gives :

 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU  **920**  @ 2.67GHz

Where the 920 is what I think your looking for...
If its not, if you just type wmic CPU and press enter it will give you all the information about the processor in a hard to read fashion...
But then you can type wmic CPU get (whatever entry interests you) to get just that one.
Good Luck

Answer 2

Use the 'wmic' tool on the shell:

>wmic cpu get name
Name
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz

Please note: In some relatively rare case you might see access restrictions to those value.
