You're confused on the difference between Windows 8 and Windows RT. To be fair, Microsoft have done a rubbish job on explaining the difference, so it's not your fault at all.

Both Windows 8 and RT have tile and desktop interfaces. Two main differences you'll see from a user perspective is that with Windows 8 you can install software onto the desktop, which you can't do with Windows RT; and that RT includes a copy of Office 2013 RT - but if this is a work machine you might have Office 2013 installed on Win8 anyway.

I guess the most certain check is if you can install software outside of the Windows Store. If you can then it's Windows 8 otherwise it's Windows RT.
