There are many versions and editions of Magento 2. Sometimes you need to know which version of Magento you are using, for example to schedule the upgrade.
Here are some tricks, which will show your current Magento 2 version.
Special page for Magento 2 version
The easiest way to know which version you are running without logging in is this interesting page, which features every Magento store.
Just visit this URL: http://your_store.com/magento_version
From here you will come to a simple page where you will find your version of Magento 2.
