Dedicated gamers and tech-savvy persons are usually more than aware of their PC’s hardware configuration. It makes sense because they are interested in that field, or have to be because each of their components plays a significant role in their performance, and being familiar with them and their capabilities are sort of a must.
However, for most of you, it isn’t a must. You may use your PC on an everyday basis for work, entertainment, media, yet, knowing what is inside of your computer may not be the most important thing for you. Nonetheless, there are occasions when knowing what type of hardware you have “hidden” inside may be what you need and if you don’t know, you may have a problem on your hands.
Luckily, even if you have forgotten what type of motherboard you have installed, you shouldn’t be worried, because there are a couple of ways how to figure out that detail by yourself. The following examples will help you sort that out.
