Determining your operating system (Mac)

When performing different kinds of maintenance or installation, you will find knowing your operating system will come in handy. We have created a guide below to help you identify the operating system that your computer is running.

1. To identify your operating system, simply select the apple logo at the top right hand corner of your screen and select "About this Mac"
2. At the top of the Window, you will see the name of your operating system, such as "OS X Yosemite"
3. Below the name you will see a version number, such as 10.10.5, which refers to the particular update you have of the operating system.
4. That's it! You've now identified your operating system. Make sure to keep it on hand, or to commit it to memory, as knowing it will contribute to understanding your computer's maintenance and up-keeping.
