You may be asked by your IT department to report your device's operating system. Follow these steps to figure out what OS version your device is running.

For Windows Devices

Click on the Windows Icon at the bottom of your screen. Navigate to Settings, then System (this should be the default section that opens in Settings). Now scroll down and click on About. Under Windows Specifications you will see your device's operating system. 

For Mac Devices

Click on the Apple Icon at the top right of your screen. Then click About This Mac. You should see your device's operating system information displayed in the resulting pop-up window.
