We have planned to upgrade our IIS to version 8, however I'm facing a problem in upgrading IIS7. Here is a snap of my IIS, which seems to be acting weird.

enter image description here

1) It is showing 3 different version numbers, 

version 7  
version 6.1  
version 7.5.7600.16385

this is really confusing and I have no idea about this behavior.

2) From where can I find the options to upgrade it to latest version of 8

OS - Windows Server 2008 R2

Please share your suggestions

You have 7.5.7600.16385. 6.1 Refers to your version of Windows and 7 refers to a generic version. It's not 6 or 8, but rather 7. Of your IIS 7, you're running the 7.5.7600.16385 version. You would most likely need to upgrade to Server 2012 to run IIS8. Below is a chart of the different OS Versions and their supporting IIS version.

Windows XP - IIS 5.1
Server 2003 - IIS 6
Server 2008 - IIS 7
Server 2008 R2 - IIS 7.5
Server 2012 - IIS 8

IIS 8 is part of Windows 8 and Server 2012. Because you still use 2008 R2, you still have the IIS 7.5.
