Which language is Windows (PC) coded in?

Question

Been looking all over but can't find the answer. I want to learn that language.

Answer 1

Windows is written in C, C++, and C# while some areas are hand written in assembly language

The first versions were written in C++ and the kernel in C

Answer 4

@Dean the language used is DOS Batch language, and the later versions of Windows also have a program called PowerShell which has an extended language. In theory, PowerShell avoids the need to use the DOS batch language.
