 What is It

How do you find the Activity 1? Did you enjoy it? Did you get the correct
words in the crossword puzzle?

Below are the terms and components used and found in a computer.
Consequently, these terms are the words you have found in doing the first
activity.

Definition of Terms

Hardware – used to describe any of the physical components of a computer.

Software – used to represent computer programs that runs on a computer.

Computer – a machine utilized for a variety of purposes going from browsing

the web, composing reports, editing videos, making applications, playing
games, creating animation, and so forth.

In order for a computer to do its job, an Operating System should be installed.

Operating System (OS) – a software that permits a user to run different

applications on a computing device.

The specific OS that we will use in this module is the Microsoft Windows.

Microsoft Windows – or MS Windows/Windows,

is a gathering of a few exclusive graphical OS
families, which are all marketed by Microsoft.

6
Memory or Random Access Memory (RAM) – a
physical device fit for putting data briefly and is utilized
by operating system, programming, and equipment.

Hard Disk (Hard Disk Drive/HDD) – an electro-

mechanical data storage device that utilizes
magnetism to store and recover digital
information.

Talking about Hard Disks as a storage device, you should also know the definition
of Data Storage Capacity.

Data Storage Capacity – refers to how much data can be saved in a storage device.

Processor – or the Central Processing Unit

(CPU), is the unit which performs the majority of the
processing and calculations that run a computer.

Video Card – or Graphics Card, a hardware inside

the computer that processes pictures, video
(Computer Hope, 2019), shows graphical information
with clearness, color, definition, and general
appearance.

Graphical information includes the Display Resolution.

Display Resolution – is the quantity of particular pixels in each measurement that can
be shown, usually quoted as width x height (Wikipedia, 2020). For example, 1024 x
768, which means that the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels.

7
Computer Specification – are the technical information of the components and capabilities of
a hardware or software product.

Processor speed is measured in hertz (Hz).

The RAM is specified in bytes (B), as well as the Data Storage Capacity, and the Video Card.

Now that the important terms were defined, the next topic is how to determine the
specification of a computer.

There are many ways of checking the specification of a computer in Windows.

Method 1 – Keyboard shortcut (Recommended)

Using the keyboard:

1. Press the “Windows” and the “Pause/Break” button

simultaneously. Key combination: Windows+Pause/Break.

Method 2 – Computer Properties

Windows 7/10

2. Using the mouse, right-click “This PC” or “Computer” to open the context menu and select
the “Properties” option.

8
Windows 8
1. Press “Windows” button using the keyboard. This is the Start or
Home screen.

2. Type “S” on the keyboard and you’ll be directed to the search field. Continue
typing “system” in the search field.
3. Select the “System Information” option from the results.

9
 The instructions in Methods 1 and 2 will display the “System” window where you can
find the following:
 OS and its version
 Processor
 Memory

In order for you to know the storage capacity of the Hard Disk, please follow
the instructions below.

Data Storage Capacity

1. Open Windows Explorer and click “Computer” or “This PC”.
2. On the right panel of the window, you can find the drives on “Hard Disk Drives
and Devices with Removable Storage” or “Devices and drives”.

10
3. Right-click on a drive then choose “Properties”.

4. In the “General” tab, you’ll see the following information:

a. Used Space
b. Free Space
c. Capacity

11
Video Card

To find out the video or graphics card on a computer:

1. Press “Windows+R” on the keyboard, type “dxdiag” on the text box, and
press “Enter”.

2. “DirectX Diagnostic Tool” window will appear. As you can notice, the
“System Information” can also be seen here. Click “Display” tab.
3. Information about the video card can be seen in the “Device” section, its
name and the approximate total memory.
