Right-click on My Computer & select Properties: What Windows version is
displayed in the resulting General tab (e.g., Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 1)?

Unless you have Windows 3.1 then you WILL have Internet Explorer. IE first
came out with Windows 95 (AFAIR) so unless you have a REALLY REALLY old
computer you have it.

IE was available for Windows 3.1 (IE version 2).

The original release of Windows 95 did not included Internet Explorer.
Version 1 of IE was part of Microsoft Plus, and bundled with some OEM
versions of Windows 95, but retail Windows 95 did not have IE included.

Windows 98 was the first Windows OS that had IE bundled in the retail
release.

But as the OP states they have Windows XP, so they already have Internet
Explorer.
