MiguelOlmosMares - if you are randomly looking at a Win10 machine and want to know if it got the Windows LAPS update, one quick way is to check for the existence of %windir%\system32\laps.dll.
Another approach would be to open up Event Viewer and look for the existence of the Windows LAPS event log channel, see:

- What is the best way of managing legacy LAPS and Windows LAPS for different OS versions? E.g Server 2016 and 2012 R2.

Hi GreigMitchell ,
There could be multiple angles to this question. If you are referring to slicing and dicing of assigned Group Polices, there is nothing specific about Windows LAPS in that respect. If you want to make it easy, just target a difference local admin account for your Windows LAPS-capable machines and assign a blanket uniform policy to all machines. As the older machines age out, the ratio of Windows LAPS-only machines will continue to climb. Just an idea.
If you are referring to monitoring, then you do need to be aware of the different attributes that new Windows LAPS is using. See:
Windows LAPS schema extensions reference
You may need to update any homegrown monitoring solutions that you were using with legacy LAPS.
