So as the title suggests, I want to know if a computer has Multi-Gpu's. I'm busy on someone else's computer and would like to know where I can look to find out. Sorry if this is a really simple thing to do and I am just being dumb.....

High-end gaming laptop? Laptops don't have the physical space inside to cool anything sufficiently high end. If you bought one, all you got was ripped off.
As for the Q.
If it's windows quickest way is to open device manager. Tells you exactly what's inside.
Hold down the Windows key and press pause/break and that will open the system settings. Link to DM is in there on the right.

It's a lot more simple than many of you are making it out to be. Literally just go into device manager, click the drop down for display adapters, and see how many are in there. That's it. No "Speccy" or whatever, because the computer should already tell you everything you need to know without third party programs.
You don't need to open it up either. Just check what's under display adapters.

If it isn't a system that you can quickly open the side panel then it probably doesn't have more than a single gpu

Opening the system shouldn't damage it in any way

Maybe, but I dont want to accidentally do something wrong as I have never opened up a PC before and I also dont have the time to do that right now

Chances are they don't have multiple GPU's if you don't know...
If it's a laptop, then it doesn't have multiple GPU's
If it's a desktop, open it up, and if you see more than one GPU then it has multiple GPU's...

Some high end gaming laptops do have a multi-gpu graphics set up

Not necessarily true. Many laptops have integrated GPU, and a dedicated GPU.

If you open a run prompt, and type dxdiag, it should display any video card details.
