Firmware Updating

I recently purchased my first 3d Printer and have been using it for about a week now. I'm constantly reading forums because i want to learn as much as i can, and one of the top things that pertains to me at the moment is bed leveling. I am still learning how to properly level the bed and thus I thought upgrading to an auto leveling bed would be a huge help. While looking through the forums I see folks calling out firmware updates-but that leaves me with one question... what firmware do i have? I'm having difficulty figuring out how to definitively find the firmware type/version that i have on the machine. The closest thing I see, every time i turn it on, is "Mendel Ready" at the bottom of the screen-so i assume i'm in the right place to ask (hopefully).

I am wondering if anyone has any insight in to how i can determine this-before planning out the required steps for updating to auto bed leveling. I have purchased it from Amazon, at the link below. It's the black acrylic HICTOP Prusa i3 mk8 with filament monitor.

I'm not sure if any one has got the hictop configuration.h files from hictop. Read [forums.reprap.org]
You're going to have to get Arduino IDE, Download marlin edit the configuration.h file. On your hictop go to >control >motion>all the way to the bottom of the settings, you'll see some x y z, e steps per mm.
