How to check my device specifications

To check if your device meets the requirements for the product you want to order, follow the instructions below:

For Windows 7:



To check your PC hardware specs, from the desktop find the icon that is labeled “My Computer”. Right-click on this and select Properties. A window should appear summarizing your PC hardware specs including processor, Memory (RAM), and other system info, including Windows version.







For Windows 8/8.1:




To find your PC's basic specs, you'll want to open up the System panel. There are a few ways to do this:

Open the Charms bar, click Settings, and then click PC info. This will open up the System panel. In the System panel, you'll be able to see what type of processor you have, how much installed memory (RAM) you have, and what type of system you have (32-bit or 64-bit). At the top of the screen, you'll also see what edition of Windows you're running, and at the bottom of the screen.

The System panel shows you information about your processor, memory and operating system.

You can also access the System panel by opening the Control Panel (Charms bar > Settings > Control Panel) and clicking System.

You should see all your hard drives displayed, with the available storage space displayed under each drive.
