For many players who don’t know much about specs on a computer, these figures may look a little intimidating. In order to find this information and cross-reference from the list that was given, going into one’s settings will be the best option.

First, go into the system tab in settings to find storage and the tab that says “About." Storage will list how much available space one has left on their computer, while the “About” will list the computer’s CPU, or processor, how much RAM is installed into the computer, and what operating system is installed into the computer.

Finally, to find the GPU, or graphics card, search in settings “Device Manager," once there, find “Display Adapters." Under “Display Adapters," listed is the graphics card that is installed into the computer.

Once all the specs are found on the computer, cross-referencing the information becomes much easier to see.
