The first step to learning more about the current version of your OS is establishing what your OS isto begin with.

Let’s start with Windows.

If the keyboard your desktop or laptop came with has a Windows key on the lower left and an “Enter” key instead of a “Return” key, chances are you’re using Microsoft’s iconic Windows OS. Another way to find out is to simply look at the bottom of the screen; if there’s a start button in the lower left corner, it’s probablyWindows, though if you have the newer Windows 11, it’ll now be in the bottom center.

Microsoft has very simple instructions for finding out precisely which version of Windows you have on its support website. The following instructions apply to both Windows 11 and Windows 10. If you’re not sure which one you have, a helpful point of reference is that pretty much any Windows machine released from 2015 on runs Windows 10 at minimum.

Apple’s instructionsfor finding out more about which version of MacOS you’re running are even simpler than those on Windows. Simply click the Apple button in the upper left corner of the screen and then click on “About This Mac” directly underneath it. Seriously, it’s the first option. You can’t miss it.

In big text right at the top of the box that pops up will be the name of the MacOS version you’re running and the version number right underneath it. Kudos to Apple for making this easy as can be.

As for which specific version of ChromeOS you have, finding that is pretty painless per Google’s instructions. It just takes a few quick steps:

  1. Click on the time on the bottom right corner of the screen

  2. Click “Settings”

  3. Click “About ChromeOS”
