All About Your Computer

There are a ton of system information programs out there that will tell you all about your computer. But did you know, there is a good one built into Windows. While it may not be as pretty or as thorough as some of the others, it’s fast and it’s already on your computer. One of things we like about it is that it makes it easy to find the date on which you last installed Windows and time of your last reboot.  It takes about 10 seconds to open and gather up all kinds of information about your computer. Here’s how to access it:

1. Open a Command prompt
a. Windows 7 users: Type CMD in the Start menu search and click it when CMD appears at the top.
b. Windows 8x users: Press the Windows key + S and type CMD in the Search box and click CMD when it appears in the search results list.
c. Windows 10 users: Right-click the start button and click “Command Prompt”.

2. Type SYSTEMINFO at the prompt in the Command Prompt window and press Enter:

3. Wait a few second while Windows gathers the information about your computer.

4. You see all kinds of information about your Windows computer including the operating system, version, the date on which Windows was last installed, the last time you last rebooted, your processor info, and much more.

See?

So now you know how to quickly find out a lot of information about your system without downloading or installing any third-party software.

    Very good. Just wish I could make the info a little larger for my aging eyes.

      You can enlarge the text in web browsers or in many programs by holding down the CTRL key and pushing the scroll wheel toward the screen. To make things smaller, hold down the CTRL key and move the mouse scroll wheel toward you. All browsers allow you to enlarge text on any page by using the “zoom” feature.

    I really like the idea to enlarge the text. This really is great to be able to see everything at once.

    Happy Thanksgiving.

    Thank you,
