How do you check your computers hardware without opening it up?

Asked By james11 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/23/2011

You know, like the video card, processor, hard drive, all that.

I just want to know what kind of laptop I have, but I don't know if you have to open it up and check inside to know.

I would prefer not to if it's possible.

To check what kind of laptop you are using is easy, just type winver in the search field. Go to Start, Search and type winver and press enter.

This step will display the information on what type of version that your computer uses. It has the manufacturer's version, model, copyright and licensed for the users.

It has a link where you can check the licensed agreement and policy. A hyperlink is displayed to see all the details.

This gives information what kind of laptop you are using, the brand and computer model and the Windows version.

You can also go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System information. This provides all the computer software and hardware components installed. It lists down all system information that you needed, memory data available and all.

It lists down all system information that is so helpful when you want to know about how your computer's current state. The good thing about this page is it'll display real time.

How do you check your computers hardware without opening it up?

Hello dear,

It is very easy to see the all components of your computer without opening the case.

Just type “devmgmt.msc” in RUN and press enter. This will open the device manager.

This is a picture of the device manager.

You can also open it in another way. Right click on the My Computer icon and choose properties.

Then, click on Hardware, then choose Device Manager.

Another other method is to type “dxdiag” in RUN and press enter.

Then, it will show you the complete hardware profile.

Thanks.
