Where can I see what features my laptop has?
Being an operating system as multifaceted as Windows is, you have multiple options to find out something specific. Something similar happens when locating a function , the OS itself provides you with multiple paths to follow.
Using Windows 8 or 10
It doesn’t matter if you’re in one version or another, the path to follow is the same. Keep in mind that you may not find all the information you want with the first method. But at least you’ll get what you need. One of the ways is as follows:
- Press the Windows key or go to the icon on the toolbar.
- There you are going to select Settings and then click on ‘System’.
- Among the multiple options that are shown to you, you must locate ‘About’.
- In the new window that will appear, you will be able to see information about the processor, if it is a 32 or 64 bit system, what is the version of Windows, as well as the product ID and the amount of RAM installed.
This is one of the most basic ways to view Windows 10 data . However, there is an additional one that we will explain in the next section.
See features in Windows 11
Both in Windows 11, as in the 3 previous versions, the following procedure is valid. So you can use this method and have all the information you are looking for . It is worth mentioning that unlike the previous one explained, here the data is more detailed. To do this, you must do the following:
- You are going to locate yourself in the search option that the system offers you. This is with a kind of magnifying glass.
- In case you do not have it available in the Windows toolbar, press the Windows + R key combination.
- It doesn’t matter if you use one or the other, the important thing is that you type ‘dxdiag’.
- Assuming you have the run window open, executing the command will open a new window. If it is the first time doing it, it will ask you to accept certain conditions. You say yes and wait a few seconds.
- If you opted for the second method, an icon with an X in yellow and blue will appear as a result.
After you enter the mentioned option, a window named ‘ DirectX Diagnostic Tool’ will be enabled. Here you will be shown around 4-5 tabs. Each focused on a different section.
For example, in the system section, you will find information ranging from the current date and time, to the Bios version, the type of processor your computer has and the DirectX version installed.
If you go to the Display tab, you will find data related to drivers, DirectDraw acceleration, texture, and Direct3D . You will also be able to notice if you have VRAM and the current presentation mode. In theory, you will see everything that is related to the screen or monitor.
In case you want to know details about the sound , there is also a section dedicated to it. Although generally there are not too many useful things here. Keep in mind that if you own a PC Gamer, this method will be very useful and know information about a computer.
Using a Mac
Here the steps to follow are much simpler. You should start with pressing the Apple Menu. Then you have to go to the About this Mac option . When you select it, you will be shown a window with several tabs. In the Overview you will find things like the processor, what type of device you have, the amount of memory and the type.
Now, if you want to get more details like the hard drive, operating system and so on, you have to:
- Hold down the Option key, and then choose Apple.
- Now choose System Information.
- You will be shown a window in which you will notice all the data related to the hardware of your device.
- If you select each item, the information will change based on it.
Where on the laptop can I see its features?
On the laptop there is no difference in terms of the steps you must follow. Since it is the same operating system , the procedure remains the same as that already explained. The only thing different is the device, for the rest, there are no changes.
What tools can tell me the characteristics of my laptop?
While it is true that the functions of Windows or MacOS are enough to know the details of the computer, sometimes it is not enough. That is why there are alternatives that you can get on the internet. Among the most recommended are:
AIDA64 Extreme/Engineer
It is one of the software that is responsible for analyzing your device and making a diagnosis . This in order to collect information and provide you with the most relevant data that the system itself does not provide. It can be used on both Android, Windows, as well as Chrome OS and Sailfish OS.
Speccy de Piriform
The operation of this program is very similar to the one mentioned above. The difference is that you can enable an option, which will give you data about the computer in real time. The detail is that you will have to know about graphics and the behavior of a team to understand if everything is going well or if something is wrong.
