Why is my java -version showing " openjdk version "1.8.0_282" "

enter image description here

This is what my CMD looks like. I have JDK 11 but for some reason it shows my version is 1.8. My netbeans uses JDK11. How do I update it from version 1.8?

EDIT: This is JAVA_HOME enter image description here

and Path

enter image description here

Go to Environment variables > JAVA_HOME > Edit > paste the path of your JDK 11 here instead of JDK-8 path > Go to PATH and now paste the path of the bin folder of JDK 11 here and press ok

You can check the version of JDK now over CMD.

Explanation:

ClassPath decides where all commands will be present.Java code should be locatable & is located using classPath where you specify root directories of all projects that you want to run.

Windows will run whatever Java is first in your PATH. Therefore, you might want to check your environment variables and also check JAVA_HOME, when you're at it.
