I think I need to upgrade my operating system. [View all]

I'm currently running OS X 10.4.11 and need to upgrade to at least 10.5. Here are my questions:

How do I know what operating system I'm running? I'm thinking I'm not asking this question right, though, which is inhibiting my finding an answer. Everything I find online says something about OS 10.5 Leopard, but I can't find anything on my actual MacBook Pro that says "Leopard" - or any thing other than OS X 10.4.11!

Also, is there a free upgrade available?

Thanks in advance for any help/info you can give!
