Many times we do not buy the equipment ourselves or assemble it so we do not know what hardware it has. This ignorance can give us many problems because sometimes we need what type of graphics card we have, how much ram memory does our computer have or simply if the computer has a 10-bit or 32-bit Windows 64.
Data that is important for future installations or configurations, without forgetting that we will need it to be able to play computer video games.
In Windows 10 There are three ways to know this information about the hardware of our equipment. The first of them and the most popular is to go to the Control Panel and in the System option see what equipment we have and what hardware is recognized. But there are two other more unknown ways but with more complete information from our computer.
Knowing what hardware we have is important for many tasks with Windows 10
The first of those two ways is use msinfo32.exe application an application that we can open directly from "run" and it will make an exact report of everything our team has. This information does not include only the usual components but we can also see the directx drivers that we have or the version of Bios that our team has. Quite useful.
In addition, Msinfo32 allows us create the report to our liking. That is to say, we do not want the software or certain elements to appear, because with marking them in the menu configuration it will be enough to have it ready. Then, that report can be exported in txt format and taken anywhere without having the equipment nearby.
The second of those ways is through the MS-DOS console, that is, the black screen that appears sometimes. In this console or terminal we write the following:
systeminfo
After this it will appear in the window a detailed report of all the equipment we have, including the software and bios. This command is important for system administrators where sometimes having a window is difficult and we can even know the hardware of other computers remotely.
As you can see, these ways to know the team we have are less common than the first but are more complete and accurate than the first form Do not you think?
