How do I check how much memory (RAM) I have? - Common Computer Questions

Question: How do I check how much memory (RAM) I have?

Answer: For Windows computers this is a very easy thing to do. Of course you can watch your screen as you boot up your computer and it may tell you there depending on how it's configured. But once you are in Windows all you need to do is find the My Computer or Computer icon depending on what version of Windows you are running. Many times it's on your desktop and if it's not then look under your Start menu.

Once you find it simply right click on it and choose Properties. Then you will see a section that says Computer or System and it will show how much RAM you have installed in your computer.

Another way is to go to Control Panel and find the System icon and open it from there. This will show you the exact same information as the other method.
