how to check system full hardware configuration in windows 10

When we buy a new laptop, we usually look at the configuration status of the laptop to distinguish the configuration hardware features. The hardware configurations included CPU model, disk model, disk size, graphics card, sound card, and network interface controller(also called NIC). So how can we check the configuration information quickly and easily? Here, I will share three cases to check the full hardware configuration of the system in windows 10.

Check the CPU model, disk model, disk size, graphics card, sound card, and NIC through computer device management

Step 1: Search for Device Manager in the start menu and open it.
