How to Check Your PC Specs on Windows

Guide · Updated for 2026

Before you check whether your PC can run a game, you need to know what's inside it. Here are the fastest built-in ways to find your specs on Windows 10 and 11 — no extra software needed.

The quick overview (CPU & RAM)

Press Windows + Pause/Break, or go to Settings → System → About. This shows your processor and installed RAM at a glance.

Find your graphics card (GPU)

Press Windows + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter. Open the Display tab to see your GPU name and video memory. Alternatively, open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) → Performance → GPU.

Check RAM speed and slots

In Task Manager → Performance → Memory, you'll see your total RAM, speed, and how many slots are used — useful for knowing if you're running dual-channel.

Check storage type (SSD or HDD)

Open Task Manager → Performance → Disk, or search "Defragment and Optimize Drives" to see whether each drive is an SSD or a hard drive.

Put it together

Once you know your CPU, GPU, RAM and resolution, you can plug them into our checker to see exactly which games your PC can run and at what frame rate.
