How to Find SharePoint Version installed


While SharePoint does not have a version button or about box with version info, there are a few distinctive features on each version. Unfortunately, you will not always see these features if an administrator and site designer has heavily customized the site. 
We can find the version using Power Shell
You must be a SharePoint farm administrator with Shell Admin rights.
ASNP Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell
(Get-SPFarm).Products

Please note: You may encounter below exceptions while executing PowerShell commands even if you are SharePoint farm administrator
Add-SPShellAdmin: Cannot access the local farm. Verify that the local farm is properly configured, currently available, and that you have the appropriate permissions to access the database before trying again.

PowerShell: The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered.

This is because you do not have Shell Admin rights. Here you need to Provide Shell Admin right to the user from which you might be looking for SharePoint version. Here is a syntax to provide rights

Syntax : Add-SPShellAdmin -UserName Domain\User


Let’s now proceed with executing Powershell commands to get the SharePoint Version.
