Windows 10 is a great operating system and it has a lot of features that make it an excellent choice for PC users. However, there are some things you should be aware of when checking your PC’s specs on Windows 10. Here are some tips to help you do this:
- Make sure your computer is up to date with the latest security patches. Windows 10 includes security updates that can help protect your computer from potential threats.
- Check your computer’s hardware specs to see if it meets the requirements for Windows 10. This will help you determine if your computer is compatible with the new operating system and its features.
- Use the System Properties tool to view information about your computer’s hardware and software configurations. This tool can help you find information about how your computer works, including its specifications and performance levels.
- Use the Device Manager tool to view information about all of your devices, including devices that are not connected to your PC but use resources from it such as graphics cards or storage drives. This tool can help you identify any issues with these devices and fix them if they exist.
If you need to check your PC’s specifications—such as how much RAM or what type of CPU your machine has—while running Windows 11, it’s as easy as a trip to Settings. We’ll show you how to find these details.
To see your PC’s specifications, you’ll first need to open Windows Settings. To do so, press Windows+i on your keyboard, or right-click the Start button and select “Settings” from the list.
When Settings, opens, click “System” in the sidebar. In “System” settings, scroll down to the very bottom of the list and click “About.”
On the System > About screen, you’ll notice a section labeled “Device Specifications” near the top of the screen. Just below that, you’ll see your PC’s specifications listed out with headers that label each entry.
To see what kind of CPU your Windows 11 PC has, look at the row labeled “Processor.” And to see how much memory (RAM) is in your PC, examine the “Installed RAM” item.
If you need to copy these specifications to show them to other people—perhaps for troubleshooting—click the “Copy” button beside “Device Specifications.” After that, you can paste the information into a text file (using Notepad, for example) or paste it into an email or message to share it with someone else. Good luck!
