Most sites recommend downloading some program from them into your computer. Don’t try it. Especially with the advent of Bitcoin seeking and webcam spying ransomware on the Internet nowadays, it is recommended you don’t make that mistake since this info is something you can find with some simple digging and common sense.

Here is how to check your system Specs without downloading malware from the Internet

Find specs for all Windows versions: 1. Click the Windows Logo button on your keypad + R key. In the small little window that appears titled "Run", type "msinfo32" and hit the enter key. A window will appear showing you detailed info on your System specifications.

Alternative steps:

Windows 10 specs:
• Step 1. Open Windows Explorer, locate “This PC”.
• Step 2. Right-click “This PC” icon and select the “Properties” option.

Windows 8 specs:
• Processor, memory and operating system: Click the Windows Start Button > Settings Tile > PC and Devices > PC Info.
OR
• Step 1. Click the Windows Start Button > search for “System” in the search bar.
• Step 2. From the drop-down results, select and click the “System” result.
• How to see the Graphics Card: Click the Windows Start Button > Settings Tile > Control Panel (bottom left) > Devices and Printers > Device Manager > Display Adapters. That's it.

Windows 7 specs:
• Step 1. Right-click the “Computer” icon to open the menu > Select the “Properties” option.

As you can see there was no need to download computer malware to your system.

Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox. There aren't any predefined aims or goals. We give you the tools and leave you to play.

Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox. There aren't any predefined aims or goals. We give you the tools and leave you to play.

You spawn objects and weld them together to create your own contraptions - whether that's a car, a rocket, a catapult or something that doesn't have a name yet - that's up to you. You can do it offline, or join the thousands of players who play online each day.

If you're not too great at construction - don't worry! You can place a variety of characters in silly positions. But if you want to do more, we have the means.

Beyond the Sandbox

The Garry's Mod community is a tremendous source of content and has added hundreds of unique modes to the game. In Trouble In Terrorist Town, you can be a detective solving an online murder as criminals attempt to cover up their homicides. Be a ball, a plant, a chair, or anything else in Prop Hunt's elaborate, shape-shifting game of Hide & Seek. Elevator: Source is gaming's first elevator thrill ride, delivering players to airlocks and kitten dance parties.

We have one of the most vibrant Steam Community Workshops, with over 300'000 models, maps, and contraptions to download. It has everything from new tools to improve your builds, to guns that fire rainbow-tinged nuclear blasts from space. Take as much or as little as you need: it’s all free.

Please note: Some multiplayer servers and game-modes might require you to own other games - such as Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2.

“It brings back the silly glee of unbridled experimentation, intuitive learning and playful social interactions that most of us haven't experienced since childhood. For that, it's essential.”
