There are many reasons why you might need to know what processor is installed in your computer. If you find that your PC is giving you performance issues, knowing your chip model can be essential in finding a solution.
So to get the answer to this existential question, there are several fairly simple ways to find information about your computer's processor model. We're going to review three of them, the easiest and most accessible in Windows 10... these solutions are often close or similar on older versions of Windows.
Going through “This PC”
With this solution, you will need to find your computer icon ("This PC") which you can usually find on the desktop or via the file explorer.
Make a right click on the icon in question and choose the Properties option.
The page " About » will then open and give you lots of information about your computer such as the installed RAM memory but also the processor model!
By going directly through the Windows Control Panel
You can find the “About” tab directly in Windows Settings.
To do this, go to the Start menu (bottom left) and click on the small cogwheel to open Windows settings.
In the settings window go to the “ System"
At the bottom of the left column you will find the “About” page where you will find all the information about your computer whose processor!
From Task Manager
The last easy option to find out your processor model is through the Task Manager. There are several ways to access this Windows tool, but the easiest is probably to right-click on the taskbar (at the bottom of your computer) and choose the option " Task Manager"
In this very practical tool, you will discover lots of information such as the resources used by the programs open on your computer... but for our purposes, go to the "Performance" tab and you will discover the model of your processor at the top right of the screen that appears!
