I think you mean "Where is the oldest Quran?"
Under caliph Uthman, may God be pleased with him, the Muslim community came together to write down the Quran in its entirety on paper, the new invention from China. The Quran had been written down before, but not combined into one book and without vowels, as was the Arabic custom of writing. The problem was that as Islam spread to the corners of the world, people who weren't native speakers were mispronouncing or mistranslating pieces of the book. The Muslim community got together to compile it into a definitive copy, and made copies to send to every major city. Two of those Uthmani (also called Usmani) Qurans still exist today, one in Turkey and one in Uzbekistan, I believe it used to be in a Tashkent museum, and their words are the same as the Qurans you see today, despite being 1400 years old.

It was destroyed. There are no first second third forth fifth sixth or seventh editions of the quran know to exist to date. What they have of the quran is not even actually the Quran. Just some wishful thinking,
