The Quickest Way to Access Basic Computer Information in Windows 10

Another public service announcement type of post.

1. Press the Windows + E keys to launch File Explorer:

windows_e_keys

2. Click inside the locator bar, type or copy/paste the following path, then press enter:
Control Panel\System and Security\System

file_explorer_locator

3. The System info section inside the Control Panel will be shown:

windows_10_basic_info

Of course, this is only the quickest (maybe) if you’re on this page and can copy/paste that path directly.

It took me 3 or 4 clicks on Google search results to find this, and the actual Microsoft help pages were not helpful. I had to schlep through a Youtube video to find this out.
