To find information about your Windows computer system, you can use the built-in utility called "System Information" (also known as "msinfo32"). Here’s how to access it and gather the necessary details for your table:

Steps to Access System Information:

  1. Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
  2. Type msinfo32 and hit Enter.
  3. The "System Information" window will open, displaying detailed information about your computer.

Example

Here's an example of what the information may look like after you gather it from "System Information":

| Field | Information | |-------------------------|---------------------------------| | Utility used: | System Information (msinfo32) | | Device: | Dell XPS 15 9500 | | Operating System: | Windows 10 Pro | | Utility: | msinfo32 | | RAM: | 16 GB (Gigabytes) | | Processor Type: | Intel Core i7-10750H | | Processor Speed: | 2.6 GHz (up to 5.0 GHz with Turbo Boost) |

Detailed Explanation of Each Field:

  • Utility used: This indicates the tool you used to gather the information about your system. In our case, it is "System Information" (msinfo32).
  • Device: This denotes the manufacturer and model of your computer. For this example, we used a Dell XPS 15 9500.
  • Operating System: This specifies the version of Windows that is currently installed. In our example, we have Windows 10 Pro.
  • Utility: This reaffirms the exact tool used for retrieving the system information.
  • RAM: This indicates the amount of Random Access Memory installed in the system, which in this example is 16 GB.
  • Processor Type: This indicates the type of CPU (Central Processing Unit) installed in the machine, which in our case is an Intel Core i7-10750H.
  • Processor Speed: This specifies the base and potential boost speeds of the processor, showing both the standard operating speed and the maximum turbo speed it can reach. In our example, the base speed is 2.6 GHz, with turbo speeds up to 5.0 GHz.

By following these steps, you can easily fill out the table for your specific Windows computer.
