I have two machines running Internet Explorer.
I'm having trouble understanding the version information on the about dialog.
I understand that the versioning system has major and minor version and so forth, as explained here.
It would seem that the version 11.2439.14393.0 is newer than 11.0.96600.19356 — however I'm unable to upgrade the version 11.0.96600.19356 to a newer version.
Thanks.

According to this discussion at Thurrott.com, the version is just "11". The rest is linked to your OS build. So your first screenshot, with
9600
, is from Windows 8.1. And the second screenshot, with14393
, is Windows 10 with the 1607 Anniversary Update.Also note:
The "Update Versions" field is what will tell you which is "newer". In your case, your upper screenshot (11.0.125) is newer than the lower screenshot (11.0.80).
