Then, you consider sending it to the after-sale service center. But this involves if the computer is still under warranty. In the following parts, we will outline some effective methods for you so that you can find out how old your computer is. Windows operating system is one of the best systems available in the market and it comes with many utilities to deal with many things. As well, it also tracks the date that shows when the operating system was installed on this machine for the first time by the manufacturer.
If you have installed the Windows system only for once, you can calculate the computer age by finding the installation date. This tool can pull up a heap of information on your computer to help you estimate how old the system is. The original install date of Windows will be shown to you but this date is misleading because Windows resets the date every time a big Windows update is issued. This is similar to option 1. Thus, the best method to check how old your computer is via this command-line tool should be looking at the BIOS Version section.
This is close to the date that I built my PC and helps me to know how old my computer is. In addition to using systeminfo. It is a pre-installed app on every computer. There is another way to find out how old your computer is and it is to check the CPU that you have and see when it was first produced.
Whenever you are purchasing a laptop or desktop, a sticker may be pasted on the back of the laptop or on the underside of the chassis. If you cannot find the available date, go to look for the serial number. Just open Google Chrome, type the number and the website of the manufacturer will show up. You can get further details about your computer including an approximate producing date. To tell how old your computer is, you can also perform a quick search on the Internet to find the age of computer.
Firstly, the model number of the laptop or desktop is necessary for this work. Just use the command systeminfo or the System Information app mentioned in option 2 to find out the system manufacturer and system model. Then, visit the official website of the supplier and get more information about the age of your computer.
Also, search in Google by using the model number to know the release date of this device. Of course, this is also not perfect since you may see items that are actually older than what your PC is. But, you can use it to cross-check the information you have found using the above methods. To sum up, you can identify the age of your computer by using these methods or performing cross-check. If you want to sell your computer, upgrade or repair it, knowing how old your laptop or desktop is can be helpful for you.
If you see amd64 then you are running a bit OS. If you see i your running a bit OS. Open a command prompt and type isainfo -v. This will show you if your OS is capable of running bit and bit applications. If that does not work you can try typing uname -a.
This will show you the version of Solaris your using. All versions after 5. Sun's platforms transitioned to bit over a period of time, which makes identifying the platform for bit compliance tricky. Open a command prompt and type getconf -a grep KERN. If that does not work try bootinfo -K. If you see mention of bit then the OS is bit capable. Black magic. Just kidding. When you visit a site with your web browser it sends a little nugget of information to that site called a "User Agent".
The user agent has a few minor pieces of information about your browser, platform, and OS version. Using this information a guess can be made about what Operating System your using. Why is it a guess? The user agent your browser sends to the website can be changed very easily.
It's not to be trusted in any way, shape, or form as the truth, but most people generally use browsers who's user agents have not been changed. Why is it only generally? Sometimes the people that provide your internet access will modify this user agent so the website can not tell what your browser is or will set the user agent to a general browser type so the site will render the same for everyone.
This is not the norm so don't fret to much. Most browsers do not put the version number of the OS in the user agent string but some do.
Apple products are a good example. The browsers that put OS version information in the user agent string are usually the browsers come with the OS or are created compiled by the vendor.
The vendors built-in browser will provide the most information to this site for it to render the most accurate guess. For example Apple's built-in browser Safari provides the full version of the OS in the user agent string, but Firefox on the same Apple computer only provdes a portion of the version number. First, read the section called "How do you know what my OS is? Now that you know how we go about guessing your OS you might have an idea on why we can't.
The most likely answer is that there might not be enough information in your user agent string to render a good guess or since the user agent is so easily changed yours could have been changed to something that is not normal or is so obscure that a guess could not even be rendered. It's a good chance it's nothing you did so don't worry. Go through the "What's the version of my OS" section above and see if you notice anything mentioned there.
It's likely you have an idea what OS your using your just not sure. Guessing an Operating System by just using a user agent is not as easy as it looks. There are so many little differences between each one. Words are not always in the same spot. Some things are spelled differently. Armed with a little knowledge, you too can keep a computer humming along until the next iteration of Windows comes along and beyond without the hassle of reinstalling Windows and all your apps.
