Every person who is going to buy a computer orlaptop, in the store wants to find out all the technical parameters of the device you like, which looks quite natural. Similarly, all other users would like to receive extended information about their terminal and the components installed in it. On how to learn the characteristics of the computer, then the conversation will go. For the common man in the street it is possible to offer a few simple methods, but the information obtained with their help can vary quite a lot.
First, let's consider the simplest method.Apparently, it makes no sense to say that to get brief information about the main components of the computer and the installed operating system, you can use the property section, which is called through the PCM menu on the desktop icon on the "Desktop" or in the "Explorer" (in Windows 10, the computer icon is available only in the file manager).
Here you will find the current version of the operating system and shortdata on the processor and RAM. But everyone understands that this in some situations is clearly not enough. But how, then, to get the most information?
Now let's see how to find out the characteristicscomputer in the plan of the installed Windows assembly. Note, in this case, it's not about the modification (7, 8, 10), namely about the build and version (for example, Anniversary Update or Creators Update for Windows 10). To obtain such information, it is easiest to use the "Run" console and set the winver command for execution.
In a small window, the current version (for example, 1709) and the assembly (for example, 16299.248) will be indicated, which corresponds to the latest installed updates for Windows 10.
But this is only a brief information about the system, andabout the components installed in it. But how do you know the full characteristics of your computer? To do this, the system provides for the use of a special tool, which, in the form of the msinfo32 command, is launched from the "Run" menu.
There is much more information already, especiallythat on the main tab it includes data on the motherboard, and for the same OS version, and for BIOS, processor, RAM, and some additional components. If you go to the components section, you can get information about all installed hardware, and in the software environment - about drivers, applications, network connections, etc.
Now let's see how to find out the characteristicscomputer with a special dispatcher, which displays all installed "iron" components and some virtual devices. "Device Manager" can be called from the "Control Panel", go to it through the computer management section (administration) or use the "Run" console, which introduces the combination devmgmt.msc.
In the dispatcher window, the maindevice, but not all. To expand the list, you must use the hidden devices display item, which is located in the view menu. The use of this tool is convenient because you can immediately see non-working components or incorrectly functioning devices, update drivers, get information on the equipment ID, etc.
Now a few words about how to find outCharacteristics of the computer with the help of a special tool provided by the DirectX platform. You can call this tool from the same "Run" menu by entering the dxdiag shortcut.
Here on the main tab will be presenteda brief description of the main components and the version of the operating system, but in this case we are interested in the "Monitor" tab, which contains the parameters of the graphics adapter. Than it is interesting? Yes, the fact that this is the only way to know the amount of allocated memory of an integrated video card. Accordingly, in the information block located on the upper right, you can get information about the installed drivers. The same goes for the sound adapter.
Finally, view all installed devicesit is possible in the parameters of the primary BIOS system, which is accessed when the computer or laptop is turned on. Usually such information is on the main tab (Main), however the components built into the motherboard can be located in the Onboard Devices section.
Finally, you can get the most complete information with the help of specially developed utilities such as CPU-Z, Speecy, AIDA64, etc.
The user of any such program to learncharacteristics of the computer, provides several main sections, and the information concerns not only the basic parameters of any device or manufacturer, but also its state at the moment (for example, the current processor temperature or the level of memory usage).
This is in short and everything about getting a basicor extended information about the characteristics of the computer device, the operating system and all installed components and devices. It is quite logical for any user to ask which tool to use this best. In the absence of specialized information utilities, there is enough information about the system and the DirectX dialog. However, in the case when the user is going to accelerate some component programmatically (for example, a central or graphics processor), there is no way to do without third-party programs.
