Using the System Information Tool (msinfo32.exe)

Since Windows 98, Microsoft has included a tool called msinfo32.exe. This is the system information tool. The tool inventories your machine's hardware and operating system to provide you with detailed information about your PC.

Click the "Start" button.
Choose "Run..."
Type "msinfo32.exe" and click OK.
This will start the System Information tool.
Under "System Summary", you can identify the OS type, amount of physical memory and processor speed.
Under "Components/Storage/Drives" you can see how much disk space you have on each of your hard drives.

You can also use this tool to determine other aspects of your system, including USB, video, etc. type hardware.
