\n3. Using Settings<\/h3>\n
Another way to access your PC\u2019s specifications is to go through Settings. As you likely know, one of the biggest differences between Windows 11 and 10 is that Settings serves a more central purpose in the former than in the latter.<\/p>\n
Thus, you must go through Settings for virtually every change you make on Windows 11, whether it concerns power, display, or processing.<\/p>\n
So, getting Windows system information through Settings is easy. All you need to do is:<\/p>\n
\n- Tap your keyboard\u2019s
Windows key + I<\/code> key to bring up the Settings\u00a0page.<\/li>\n- Click System<\/em> and scroll down until you see the About<\/em>\u00a0option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n \r\n

![\"About]()
\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\nAlthough it will not provide detailed system information on Windows like the System Information app, this will still give you a complete breakdown of your PC and Windows OS particulars.<\/p>\n
4. Using File Explorer<\/h3>\n
You can also use File Explorer<\/a> to get your PC and Windows specifications. This involves running the msinfo32.exe application file<\/a>, the root file for System Information on Windows . To use File Explorer to locate your PC and Windows information, follow this procedure:<\/p>\n\n- Tap the
Windows key + E<\/code> on your keyboard to launch File Explorer.<\/li>\n- Enter your C:<\/em> drive or any other drive with the installed Windows OS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n- Go to the Windows<\/em> folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n- Next, go to the System32<\/em> folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n \r\n

Windows key + R<\/code>, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter<\/code>. Click Yes<\/em> once you see the User Account Control window to launch the Command Prompt with administrative privileges.<\/li>\n- Type systeminfo<\/em> and hit
