Viola! You can now see some of your PC specs

Information regarding your processor and amount of RAM available can be found under Device Specifications. This section also has information on your laptop’s name, device ID, product ID, system type and whether or not pen or touch functionality is available.

In the Windows Specifications section, you can see which Windows OS you’re running, which version, when it was installed, and which specific build it is. Under Support, it shows the computer’s manufacturer (if it has one) alongside an available support website.

Unfortunately, the About page does not feature everything you need to know about your PC. If you want information about the GPU and storage installed, move onto the next step.

4. Press the Windows key

Device Manager is a bit obtuse, but it boasts most of what you need to know about your PC.

For GPU specs, click on Display adapters. For example, mine shows “NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080.

For storage specs, click on Disk drives. I have five installed on my computer, and each are visible from this menu.

You can also see available Bluetooth, Audio, Monitors, and far more from this menu.
