I'm about to buy a laptop from a private retailer.
We'll only see each other at the door for a short time (as it is), but I would still quickly check whether the hardware is flawless "at first glance".
Is there a Windows 10 diagnostic tool (like the performance index back then) that checks it in a matter of seconds?
It is clear to me that this can't be used for in-depth testing. I just want to know at first glance whether everything is okay.
I would first ask him if you can use it briefly. In addition, downloading a program before buying that analyzes the hardware would not be possible anyway, since there's no purchase available. Well no matter. I would go to the device manager (right click on windows symbol and then on device manager. There you can then briefly check the graphics card, processor, etc., whether they work. It probably takes 5 minutes.
Thanks, I thought so too.
But how do I check whether the components are working?
If something is wrong, a small yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark appears next to the symbol in the Device Manager.
