It\u2019s easy to lose track of your computer\u2019s operating system if you don\u2019t keep up with the latest tech news. Well, let\u2019s help you with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The instructions in this post will help you quickly determine the installed operating system on any computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-find-out-which-version-of-windows-you-have\"><span id=\"how-to-find-out-which-version-of-windows-you-have\">How to Find Out Which Version of Windows You Have<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step in learning more about the current version of your operating system is determining what your operating system is in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us begin with Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your keyboard has a Windows key on the lower left and a \u201cEnter\u201d key instead of a \u201cReturn\u201d key, you\u2019re probably using Microsoft\u2019s venerable Windows operating system. Another way to tell is to look at the bottom of the screen; if there\u2019s a start button in the lower left corner, it\u2019s probably Windows, though in Windows 11, it\u2019ll now be in the bottom center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On its support website, Microsoft provides very simple instructions for determining which version of Windows you have. The instructions below apply to both Windows 11 and Windows 10. If you\u2019re not sure which one you have, a good starting point is that almost any Windows machine released after 2015 runs Windows 10 at a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press the start button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201cSettings\u201d from the menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201cSystem\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cAbout\u201d to learn more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \u201cDevice specifications\u201d and then \u201cSystem type\u201d to proceed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for \u201cWindows specifications\u201d to see what version of Windows you have.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-find-out-which-version-of-macos-you-have\"><span id=\"how-to-find-out-which-version-of-macos-you-have\">How to Find Out Which Version of Macos You Have<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to guess and assume you know whether or not you\u2019re running MacOS, Apple\u2019s desktop and laptop operating system. It is the only operating system that runs on Apple devices, and MacOS is only available on Apple devices. You already know the deal if you see the famous Apple logo anywhere on your laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple\u2019s instructions for determining which version of MacOS you\u2019re running are even easier to follow than those on Windows. Simply click the Apple button in the upper left corner of the screen, followed by \u201cAbout This Mac\u201d directly beneath it. It is, in fact, the first option. You won\u2019t be able to miss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name of the MacOS version you\u2019re running and the version number will be displayed in large text at the top of the box that appears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-find-which-version-of-chromeos-you-have\"><span id=\"how-to-find-which-version-of-chromeos-you-have\">How to Find Which Version of Chromeos You Have<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ChromeOS, the newest of the three major operating systems outlined in this article, was created by Google and runs on any device with the word \u201cChromebook\u201d in the name. You have ChromeOS if you own a Chromebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Google\u2019s instructions, determining which version of ChromeOS you have is fairly simple. It only takes a few simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the bottom right corner of the screen, click on the time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201cSettings\u201d from the menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the \u201cAbout ChromeOS\u201d link.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This should open a page with information about your machine\u2019s ChromeOS version, as well as the option to check for and install any updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-check-the-specifications-of-your-windows-pc\"><span id=\"how-to-check-the-specifications-of-your-windows-pc\">How to Check the Specifications of Your Windows PC<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-windows-11-and-windows-10\"><span id=\"windows-11-and-windows-10\">Windows 11 and Windows 10<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select the Settings option from the Start menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select System from the Settings menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to the System page and select About. At the bottom of the System page, this will be the last option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see a page with information about your computer. This will include the current name of your PC, the type of CPU you have, your RAM, and the ID numbers of your devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-windows-8\"><span id=\"windows-8\">Windows 8<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the Settings menu by pressing the Windows key + I on your keyboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Change PC settings from the Settings menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select PC and devices, then PC info.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-exactly-are-operating-systems\"><span id=\"what-exactly-are-operating-systems\">What Exactly Are Operating Systems?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An operating system (OS) is a type of software interface that connects the user to the hardware of a device. Users can use this software to communicate with the device and perform the desired functions. To manage computer programs and applications, operating systems rely on two components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kernel: The kernel is the central inner component that handles data at the hardware level. It is in charge of input-output management, memory management, and process management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shell: The shell is the outer layer that manages the user\u2019s interaction with the operating system. The shell communicates with the operating system by either accepting user input or running a shell script. A shell script is a set of system commands stored in a file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-commonly-used-operating-systems\"><span id=\"commonly-used-operating-systems\">Commonly Used Operating Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are the most commonly used operating systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-windows-by-microsoft\"><span id=\"1-windows-by-microsoft\">#1. Windows by Microsoft<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft Windows, developed by Microsoft, is one of the world\u2019s most popular proprietary operating systems for computers. Microsoft Windows is preinstalled on the majority of personal computers. One disadvantage of Windows is its incompatibility with mobile phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-apple-ios\"><span id=\"apple-ios\">Apple iOS<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple iOS is a mobile operating system that is used on Apple\u2019s smartphones and tablets. This system provides users with access to hundreds of applications. To prevent unauthorized access to users\u2019 private data, the operating system includes strong encryption capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-google-android\"><span id=\"google-android\">Google Android<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google\u2019s Android operating system is the most popular in the world. It is most commonly found on tablets and smartphones. It is also compatible with devices made by other manufacturers. The Google Play Store provides users with access to a plethora of mobile applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-apple-macos\"><span id=\"apple-macos\">Apple macOS<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This proprietary operating system, developed by Apple, runs on the company\u2019s personal computers and desktops. All Apple and Macintosh computers include the most recent version of macOS, formerly known as OS X systems. Apple operating systems are popular among their users due to their ability to prevent bugs and defend against hackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-linux\"><span id=\"linux\">Linux<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Linus Torvalds, a Finnish programmer, created Linux, which is now developed by programmer collaborators all over the world who submit changes to the central kernel software. Programmers and corporate servers widely use Linux. It is freely available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-difference-between-an-open-source-and-proprietary-os\"><span id=\"whats-the-difference-between-an-open-source-and-proprietary-os\">What\u2019s the Difference Between an Open-Source and Proprietary OS?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An open-source operating system, such as those based on the Linux kernel (such as the Android OS), makes its source code available to the public. Anyone can modify the source code, and the software evolves through open collaboration. On the other hand, a proprietary operating system is branded software in which the code is protected by the manufacturer, such as Microsoft or Apple, and thus cannot be modified by others. Any changes to the operating system will be made by the company that owns it. Open-source software is generally updated and fixed more quickly than proprietary software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-it-important-to-know-about-operating-systems\"><span id=\"why-is-it-important-to-know-about-operating-systems\">Why Is It Important to Know About Operating Systems?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding operating systems is essential for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It enables you to comprehend a device\u2019s inner workings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It allows you to troubleshoot minor issues with the device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It enables you to hone your coding abilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It allows you to choose the best operating system for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-which-jobs-require-direct-interaction-with-operating-systems\"><span id=\"which-jobs-require-direct-interaction-with-operating-systems\">Which Jobs Require Direct Interaction With Operating Systems?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Operating systems are the \u201cbrains\u201d behind a computer\u2019s functionality, and many tech jobs involve direct interaction with them, such as software developers, web developers, software engineers, coders, and computer programmers. While many programmers today are adept at cross-platform programming, which means that the software they create can run on multiple platforms, there are still specific OS developers, such as a Linux developer, macOS developer, or an Android developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-i-tell-if-my-windows-is-32-bit-or-64-bit\"><span id=\"how-can-i-tell-if-my-windows-is-32-bit-or-64-bit\">How Can I Tell if My Windows Is 32-Bit or 64-Bit?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the Start button, then Settings > System > About. See System type on the right, under Device specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-64-bit-run-32-bit\"><span id=\"can-64-bit-run-32-bit\">Can 64-bit run 32-bit?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running a 32-bit program on a 64-bit machine will work flawlessly because the program treats the computer as if it were a 32-bit machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choosing-an-operating-system\"><span id=\"choosing-an-operating-system\">Choosing an Operating System<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In our linked reviews of the five operating systems discussed above, we considered the following criteria, which can help you decide on an OS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A variety of hardware options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A wide range of software is available, including gaming and productivity software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Niceties in interface design and windowing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apps and utilities <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration of mobile and cloud services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Updates, stability, and security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice is simple if you only need to run software that is compatible with one of these operating systems. You can sometimes get around this by running a virtual machine, but native apps provide a better experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you want to use Final Cut Pro as your video editor and Adobe Premiere Pro isn\u2019t an option, macOS is your only option. If you want to play AAA video games, Windows is the way to go. The same is true for peripherals. You might have a VR headset or 3D printer that only supports one type of system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-articles\"><span id=\"related-articles\">Related Articles <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/how-to-record-video-on-windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Record Video on Windows 10 in 9 Easy Ways<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/how-to-make-windows-11-look-like-windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HOW TO MAKE WINDOWS 11 LOOK LIKE WINDOWS 10: EASY!<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/gaming\/best-linux-distro-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7+ BEST LINUX DISTRO FOR GAMING IN 2023<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/how-to\/how-to-factory-reset-you-mac\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HOW TO FACTORY RESET YOU MAC\/MACBOOK 2023<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/businessyield.com\/tech\/technology\/arm64-vs-x64\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ARM64 VS X64: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\"><span id=\"references\">References <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mashable<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/intel.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Intel<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether you\u2019re a die-hard fan of Windows, Mac, or ChromeOS, it\u2019s not always clear which operating system version&hellip;\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":86,"featured_media":13808,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[258],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-13806","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-apps"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Operating System Do I Have: How to Find Out - Business Yield Technology<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It&#039;s easy to lose track of your computer&#039;s operating system if you don&#039;t keep up with the latest tech news.
