On Windows 10, sometimes, you may need to find and copy the hardware specs of your device for a number of reasons. For example, when you’re troubleshooting a problem, and tech support requires some of the basic information to help you resolve the issue. You are planning to upgrade some of the components, such as memory or processor, and you want to know the current configuration. Or you want to use the information for inventory purposes.
Whatever the case it might be, Windows 10 version 20H2 makes it easy to copy the device specifications (such as processor, memory, and system type) as well as Windows specifications (including edition, version, and build number) using the About settings page without having to use other tools or commands.
