If you've got Windows on your computer.

Click the Apple logo top right on your desktop and choose 'About this Mac'. A pop-up window will automatically appear showing the version of your Mac's software.

Internet Explorer: open Internet Explorer and click the 'Extra' button top right (shown as a cogwheel). Click 'About Internet Explorer’.
