How to check the specs of your desktop computer or laptop?

Hi IT People!

I am here to show you on how to get the specs of your desktop computer or laptop. You will know the Processor, Hard Disk, Memory and your Operating System.

Here are the steps:
FOR WINDOWS 7 Operating System
STEP 1) Click on your start button
STEP 2) Right-click on "Computer" and choose "PROPERTIES"

**Your screen now must show this panel"

As we can see on my computer example, My Computer specs are the following:

PROCESSOR: AMD A6-5400K APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.60Ghz 
                 *Check website of your chosen brand to verify if your processor is still up to date or not.
                 *Radeon HD Graphics --> meaning that my processor is built-in with Graphics (You can run games without Video Card) ;)

INSTALLED MEMORY (RAM): 2.00GB (1.47GB Usable)
                *Take note that if your Operating System is Windows 7 (32bit), the highest memory that it can read is 3.99GB below.
                *Only Windows 7/8 (64bit) can read memory that has size of 4GB and up. This operating system is strongly recommended to those power users. (Ex. Rendering files, Graphic Designs, Video Editing, etc.)

SYSTEM TYPE: 32-bit Operating System 
                 *This is your Operating System bit. It can only read size of memory from 512mb to 3.99GB.

COMPUTER NAME: NiknokServer-PC
                 *Basically, what you see is what you get. It is the computer name of my computer and it can use in mapping shared drives, connecting to printers, used for ping (Network Connection) and so on.

HOW ABOUT YOUR HARD DISK?

Commonly, the Hard Disk now are just 300GB, 500GB, 1TB, 2TB and so on. All of these are using SATA port.

SATA --> Serial Advanced Technology Attachment

*In reality, this port is much better and faster than the old fashion which is IDE.

To check the size of your hard disk follow the steps below:

STEP 1) Click on your start button
STEP 2) Choose Computer 
             TIP: Shortcut key = WinKey+E
STEP 3) Look to your Drive C: and it will show below the size of your hard disk.
         *The size of your hard disk is not exactly 300GB,500GB or 1TB because it used some space for the operating system.

Always remember that the desktop computer and laptop is always upgrading therefore it is highly recommended that if you are planning to buy a computer, please make sure that it is ready for upgrade.

Example: **IMPORTANT**

Your Motherboard is ASUS --> Supports Intel Processors i-series.

This motherboard is good, meaning if I have an Intel Core i3 processor as of the moment and I am planning to upgrade on my future time, its possible.

Short History:
Intel Core i-series

1st - Intel Core i3
2nd - Intel Core i5
3rd - Intel Core i7...and still counting on upgrades..

Check the Intel website for i-series processor to verify what I am giving information.

I hope this topic is too long but it will help you a lot on choosing the best computer you need too.

I hope also that it helps you guys.

Thank you very much!
