[Software]How to Find Your Windows 10 PC Hardware and System Specs

[Black CaT]

There will be times when you need to know what’s under the hood of your computer. Maybe you want to install an NVMe M.2 SSD or add RAM to your laptop. You might need to know your Windows version or other system details to make sure you can run a software program. Or, maybe you need to troubleshoot a problem.

Whatever the reason, here’s our guide on how to find the full system specs of your Windows computer. Either by using utilities built into Windows 10 or using a third-party app.

Now, if you need more details, hit the Windows key and type: system info and hit Enter or select the top “System Information” search result. That will bring up a whole host of info in a traditional old-school Windows menu. In fact, here, it gets quite technical and geeky. In addition to the basic info, here you’ll find component and system resource info, including IRQs and I/O ports. If you need to find a precise detail, you can use the search field at the bottom of the window.

If you’re a command-line nut, you can get system specs using either the Command Prompt or PowerShell. Open the command prompt or PowerShell (Admin) and type: systeminfo and hit Enter. That will provide a long list of data like your BIOS version, Windows version, install data, CPU, computer model, and more.

There may also be times when you need to get advanced display info of your monitor, and Windows 10 has a section for that, too. Head to Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings. There you’ll discover several details, including your display’s manufacturer and model number, refresh rate, and a lot more.

If you have your Windows 10 (version 1803 or above) computer set up with a Microsoft account, you can find basic system info via a web browser. The company has expanded its Microsoft Dashboard to include a “Devices” section where you can monitor the health of your PC and look up your system’s health and device info remotely.
