How am I supposed to know whatslot size my current computer has?

I know absolutely nothing about computers, and I’m getting a headache searching online for stuff.

I have no idea where the PC manual is. We bought our computer over a year ago. It’s a Dell XPS 200 (I think, I can’t find that either). The thing I have says it needs a PCI Express X16 compliant slot.
