In Windows 8.1's registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion), there's a string (EditionID) that refers to the current version of Windows you're running.

What are the values for each version of Windows 8.1 (regular, Pro, Pro + Media Center)?

  • What about the Single Language, and Windows 8.1 w/Bing editions? I was able to find half the editions but there are about 8 variations the majority dealing with low costs version of the same license ( Core )

  • I just know there are others. I was going to answer but the notes I thought I had wouldn't have answered the question.

  • Amazing. Your only missing one. Single Language editions are likely to have an id of CoreSingleLanuage since they are Windows Core with a single language pack. Anyone that works this hard for a single upvote should receive more :-(
