How can I determine what version of the Windows SDK is installed on my computer?
I'm asking so I can install the latest version if it isn't installed already.

You can see both the SDK versions and runtime versions with the command dotnet --info .
What is Windows 10 SDK? The Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) contains headers, libraries, and tools you can use when you create apps that run on Windows operating systems. With the Windows SDK, you can begin building Universal Windows apps and desktop apps for Windows 10, Version 1511.
The windows SDK is necessary if you intend to develop windows applications (with GUI, low-level graphics, windows filesystem specific I/O, tweaking registry settings, developing windows services or device drivers, etc etc).
On English locale at least:
dir "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows" should work. It is quite likely that there will be multiple versions installed, which is the right one for an one build can only be specified by that project.
