Depends on the age of these computer ?? One could created bootable Installers of various versions of macOS. Boot the devices and wipe the drives once it has been determined what version of macOS they Qualify for.
Notation - the computer being used to download and create the Bootable Installer Must also Qualify to run the desired versions of macOS being downloaded for making the installer. Example: a computer that came originally installed with Catalina would not be able to download and create a Bootable Installer for Mojave or anything older.
