Does Windows 10 have SMB 3?

SMB3 supported by all versions/editions of Windows 10.

How do you check which SMB version is used?

On Windows 8 and higher, you can use the powerhsell command Get-SmbConnection to check which SMB version is used per connection. The easiest way is to install WireShark and capture the packets, it will decode them and should show you a protocol version.
