This is how you can check the version of Chrome OS that your Chromebook is running

We have been using a few Chromebooks in the office and on one occasion, we tried to use a gesture that we knew was a Chrome OS staple, but for some reason, the desired output was not what we got to see. On further inspection, we came to a realization that the feature we were looking for was not a part of the Chrome OS version that our Chromebook was running. This further made us boot up the other Chromebooks that we had and we realized that not all of them supported the more recent features and this further triggered a Chrome OS version check.

While Chromebooks mostly run on their own, and you can normally ignore the operating system version your device is running, you may want to keep that information on hand just in case. If you are someone who owns a Chromebook and you want to know the version of Chrome OS that you have at your disposal, this is how you can check it for yourself.
