Question

How do I check my computer's OS?

Community Answer

Press the Windows key. On Windows, it should open the start menu. On Linux and MacOS, it should show a window list. To check if your computer is using MacOS or Linux, check to see if the Apple logo is there. Linux does not have an Apple logo.
