all the above, but if you're not to good with computers just do the following
go to "My Computer" (just "computer" if you have that piece of garbage "Windows Vista") right click it and just press properties, and there you go....
other ways of telling, just look around the whole computer, usually it says what type it is
or look at the tool bar (bottom of the screen all the time) if it is blue, and has a green "Start" button, it is most likely XP the best computer ever, if it is silver/black, and has a blue circle, with that windows flag symbol, than it is most likely Windows Vista, if it is just plain baidge, than it's most likely very very old (NT2000 98 ect...) or usually they have a screen saver that pops up and just has the type name floating around... so here' syour answer
