Almost every user of a personal computer (both a desktop computer and a laptop) can recall such moments when this very computer began to create continuous problems and do not bring any benefit. It is often not even entirely clear how one PC differs from another, besides the width of the screen. And such questions as "what clock speed, how much RAM or what video card" may well be confusing, although it is important to know. And if you need to find out which network card is on the computer, then you need to do the following.
It is necessary
Computer, mouse, Windows operating system, network card
Instructions
Step 1
It is necessary to click on the "Start" button in the lower left corner of the desktop (a button in the form of a circle with a four-color flag) and find the "Computer" item in the menu that appears. If this item is not displayed in the Start menu, then click on it while holding down the right mouse button on any free space in the Start menu and select Properties (this is true for the Windows 7 operating system). Open a window with several tabs, from which you select the "Start" menu and press the "Configure" button. In the window that opens, we find the computer item and select the option "Display as a link" and click the "ok" button below. After that, in the "Properties of the taskbar" window and the "Start" menu, press the "ok" button. Now the "Computer" item has appeared in the "Start" menu. Clicking on it (while holding down the right mouse button), select "Properties".
Step 2
In the window that opens, we find the item "Device Manager" and click on it. In this window, you can find out information about all the devices that are installed on the computer. In the list, you need to find the item "Network devices" (in Windows 7, this item is accompanied by a small image with two screens and a gray-green wire under them).
Step 3
After clicking on the triangle next to the item "Network adapters" a list will open, which will indicate the network adapter that is on your computer. By hovering the mouse and clicking on the "network device" (while holding down the right mouse button), you can select the "Properties" item and in the menu that opens, find out all the necessary information about the network card that is on the computer - manufacturer, location, drivers and number other properties.
