If you\u2019ve bought a Pre-Built PC (already assembled), your PC specs are usually listed in the spec sheet that comes with the purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019ve lost your original spec sheet, there are many ways to find out your PC specs, though, and we\u2019ll get into those a bit further down.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_You_Need_to_Know_Your_PCs_Specs\"><\/span>Why Do You Need to Know Your PC\u2019s Specs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Want_to_Upgrade_or_Replace_Your_PC\"><\/span>You Want to Upgrade or Replace Your PC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are looking to <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/how-to-upgrade-your-pc-beginners-guide\/\">upgrade your PC<\/a> or buy a new one, it\u2019s good to have basic knowledge of your own computer or just computer parts in general.<\/p>\n<p>When you walk into a PC store without an elementary knowledge of computer fundamentals, you won\u2019t be able to make heads or tales of what the salesperson is recommending to you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Want_to_Know_if_Your_PC_is_Fast_Enough_for_a_Specific_Game_or_Software\"><\/span>You Want to Know if Your PC is Fast Enough for a Specific Game or Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are looking to install new software or a game, your PC specs may determine whether the installation is possible at all.<\/p>\n<p>And even if the application installs successfully, there is no guarantee that it will run as well as the developer intended if the specs are not up to speed.<\/p>\n<p>Often, application developers will indicate the minimum hardware and operating system conditions under which the software can be installed.<\/p>\n<p>Such minimum <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/?s=system+requirements\">system requirements<\/a> would usually include operating system version, processor speed, RAM capacity, and hard disk space.<\/p>\n<p>By checking your PC specs, you can determine beforehand whether the installation will be successful or if you need to upgrade part or all of the PC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Want_to_Troubleshoot_a_Problem\"><\/span>You Want to Troubleshoot a Problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At some point, your PC will run into problems due to the expected gradual wear and tear of usage and age.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in an office environment where you have no qualms about getting IT-support staff to take care of any issues, it is a little more complicated for a home PC.<\/p>\n<p>At home, calling a technician to come over and see what the problem could imply incurs substantial costs paying the contractor.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, many problems are not that difficult for someone with some minimal computer knowledge to resolve independently. (<a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/forum\/\">And some help of our PC experts forums<\/a>!)<\/p>\n<p>The last thing you need is calling a technician only to find out when they arrive that you needed to just tweak a single, easily accessible setting to get things right.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing your PC specs can be a valuable step in giving you that basic foundation you need to take the required action when something relatively minor goes wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you have to call a technician over eventually, it certainly helps if you have an idea of what part they are looking to repair or replace.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Want_to_Sell_It_and_Know_Its_Worth\"><\/span>You Want to Sell It and Know Its Worth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are planning to replace your current PC with a new one, then you may be contemplating putting up your current PC for sale. Whether you want to sell it at a garage sale or post it online, people will want to know its specs before they buy.<\/p>\n<p>You may not need to know every single thing about the PC since most buyers will understand you are not necessarily a computer expert.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding your PC\u2019s specs helps you <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/how-much-is-your-computer-worth\/\">gauge its true worth<\/a> and therefore allows you to set a realistic price.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Check_Your_PCs_Specs_on_Win_10\"><\/span>How to Check Your PC\u2019s Specs on Win 10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you still have the box and paper documentation that came with your PC when you bought it, then you have a head start in knowing your PC\u2019s specs.<\/p>\n<p>Still, these can get lost or destroyed at some point. You, therefore, need the ability to check your PC specs on your own independent of the documentation.<\/p>\n<p>You have two other options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One way is to find your PC model and then run an Internet search that will take you to the manufacturer\u2019s website and provide a detailed list of your PC\u2019s specs. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your second option is more practical.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s checking the specs from within your Windows 10 operating system.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you should only revert to the manufacturer\u2019s website if you are unable to quickly find the specs on your computer by following the instructions below.<\/p>\n<p><strong id=\"direct\">Section direct links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#cpu\">What CPU do I
