How to Check All Information About RAM on Windows 11

This practical guide walks through how to check all information about RAM on Windows 11, explains the main requirements, and highlights common issues that may appear along the way.

How to check the amount of RAM using the Settings Windows application

The easiest way to check how much RAM is available is in the Settings app.

First you need to open the Windows Settings app by pressing the Windows + i key combination, or right-click the Start button at the far left of the taskbar and select 'Settings' from the list that appears.

When the Settings application interface opens, look to the list on the left and click on the 'System' item. In the "System" settings screen, which appears on the right, scroll to the bottom of the list and click "About".

Expand the 'Device Specifications' section at the top of the list by clicking on it. Just below, you'll see how much RAM your PC has under 'Installed RAM'. In the example in the post is '16.0 GB'.

Besides RAM, this screen also shows all the basic information about system configuration that you need. To copy these specifications to send to others — possibly for troubleshooting — click the 'Copy' button next to 'Device Specifications'. All information will be copied as plain text so you can paste or send it to anyone.

How to check the speed and type of RAM in Windows 11

Knowing the type and speed of RAM is essential when upgrading a system.

First, open the Task Manager by right-clicking the Start button and selecting 'Task Manager' in the menu that appears.

On the Task Manager interface, click the 'Performance' tab at the top, then click the 'Memory' item.

On the Memory information screen, look in the upper right corner of the window. Here you will see the total amount of RAM of your PC (such as '16.0 GB').

To see the speed and type of RAM, look towards the center of the "Memory" screen. You'll find a short list that shows the speed, form factor of the RAM, as well as the number of physical RAM slots it uses.

When you're done, close Task Manager. Wishing you a successful completion!
