There are a few methods, let’s explore them.

Method 1: Through the Settings menu in Microsoft Edge

Click in the Microsoft Edge browser on the three dots at the top right of the browser.

Then in the menu go to Help and Feedback, then choose About Microsoft Edge

You should now see the screen as shown below.

Method 2: Through the Adress bar in Microsoft Edge

In the Microsoft Edge browser type edge://version/ and hit enter. You will now also see which version of Javascript is beign run in Microsoft Edge, Flash and this sort of information.
