If you bought a supported computer, it is a good idea to check the configuration of its devices. Including, identify the components installed in the system unit. In order to determine the processor model, you can use the following methods.

Step 2
The appearance of the window that opens depends on the version of the Windows operating system installed on your computer. In any case, in one of the lines you will find information about the processor model. However, often, in addition to the model name of the device, you may need to know its technical characteristics or readings of the temperature sensor. For these purposes, you need to install a special program, it can be either Everest or SISoftware Sandra. To find an installer for any of these utilities, use an Internet search engine.
Step 3
Consider finding the information you need using the Everest program. Launching it, you will see a window similar to Windows Explorer, the only difference is that devices are listed instead of folder icons. On the left side of the window, you will find a list of devices grouped by a specific criterion. First, open the "Motherboard" menu.
Step 4
In the list that opens, click on the "CPU" item. As a result, on the right side of the window, you will find not only the processor model, but also technical information.
Step 5
If you need to find out the temperature of the processor, then open the "Computer" option located in the panel on the right, then click on the "Sensor" item. You will see information about the temperature of the main computer devices. Remember that the temperature of the processor in a laptop is one and a half times higher than the temperature of the processor installed in a stationary computer.
