Check Computer Laptop Configuration Without Opening Case

Step by Step Guide to Check Computer Configuration


Do you know the full configuration of your desktop or laptop?

The expected answer is "Yes I know, I have a desktop computer with i3 CPU, 4GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive."


Knowing only about the RAM, Hard disks, Graphics, etc., doesn't mean you know the complete configuration of your computer. If you know then please answer these simple questions

What’s the memory of your graphics card and how much of it is available to use? Which Technology is your CPU using and it belongs to which family? What’s the current Temperature of your CPU? Is it normal or high?

Do you know about your Operating System completely? What's the status of your Windows Services, Updates, Firewall, etc?
Do you know your Hard Drive status? About its Capacity (Not the label size), Temperature, Supported options, etc?

Maybe you are getting angry now. OK, let's come straight to the point. A very few of us check computer configuration so deeply. More than half of our problems would be resolved, if we know the things correctly. Don't wait for the problem, try to prevent it from arising. 

So today I'm going to tell you about an awesome Windows tool, which might be useful for everyone. Maybe you already know about it. But if you do not know then, it may be quite useful. Use this tool and dive deeper into every aspect of your desktop-laptop hardware (and a bit software too).
