Configuration of your own computer

How to find out the configuration of your own computer?

If somebody asks you a question like "What is the configuration of your computer?" - it just means that he or she wants to know at least three important things - 1. What kind of processor (CPU) you have? 2. How much of memory(RAM) is installed & 3. What is the capacity of your computer's hard-disk drive (HDD). You can then add on more details like the size & type of your monitor,keyboard, mouse etc to complete the description.

You can find out the configuration of a computer by clicking on the System icon in the Control Panel or by just right-clicking on the My Computer icon on your computer's desktop and selecting Properties. Then, in the General tab, you can find information about which version of Windows you have in your computer, what kind of processor (CPU) you have in your computer and how much of memory (RAM) you have installed.
