You haven't, you're running version 2.7.4, which is at the bottom of your control panel. That's the latest version of Craft 2. The Craft 3.1 in your second screenshot is a news post, not the version you're running.

Craft 3 is a major update and therefore not available through the control panel. You can find information about updating to Craft 3 here: https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/upgrade.html

<p>I am a newbie to CraftCMS and just installed my very first Craft Project on local Xampp. Everything looks good except the "<strong>Plugin Store</strong>" navigation menu is not showing up. Is there any trick or tweak to appear the default menu?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

I am a newbie to CraftCMS and just installed my very first Craft Project on local Xampp. Everything looks good except the "**Plugin Store**" navigation menu is not showing up. Is there any trick or tweak to appear the default menu?

Thanks in advance!
