Check your spec's

Got no idea whether your computer system has any of the stuff in the table above? No problem. Hopefully you at least know if it's a Mac (also known as Apple) or a PC? If you don't know, since only about 5% of computers are Macs, chances are it is a PC.

  • PC: Select the Start Menu, then select Control Panel, then select System.
  • Mac: Select the 'Apple' menu, then select About this Mac.

This should tell you all the stats you need to know!
