Otherwise, if the command outputs the number 12, the computer uses a SODIMM module (usually available on laptops). Wmic memorychip get devicelocator,formfactorĮxplanation: If the output is 8, the device uses DIMM modules (usually available on desktops). Under the FormFactor column, confirm the form factor information. Wmic memorychip get devicelocator,memorytype 5. Under the 'MemoryType' column, confirm the number that identifies the memory type. Check the memory module speedĬonfirm the speed of the memory module (in MHz) under the speed column Systeminfo|findstr/C:'Total Physical Memory' 3. Determine the total system memory capacityĬonfirm the total amount of physical memory (in megabytes) installed on the device. Tip: Capacity information is displayed in bytes, but you can convert the data to GB by dividing that number by 1,073,741,824 (1 GB bytes). Wmic memorychip get devicelocator,capacityĬonfirm the size of each memory module under the capacity column. Determine the capacity of each memory module Using the command prompt, the total capacity of each module and the entire system can be determined. Wmic memorychip get devicelocator,serialnumberĬonfirm the product identifier under the 'SerialNumber' column. For example, wmic memorychip get banklabel,serialnumber

Tip: In the command, you can also replace 'devicelocator' with 'banklabel' to list the serial number showing the physical label that the memory is on the motherboard. Wmic memorychip get devicelocator,partnumberĬonfirm the product number under the 'PartNumber' column. 'Run as administrator' to run Command Prompt. Wmic memorychip get devicelocator,manufacturer Type the following command and press Enter:Ĭonfirm the memory brand under the manufacturer column. Type 'command prompt', right-click the top result, and select the 'Run as administrator' option.

Below, I will show you how to check memory specifications in Windows. While you can use Task Manager to view memory specification information, if you want to determine more specific details, such as manufacturer, part number, serial number, etc., you can use the following commands. When adjusting memory settings in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) or Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), pre-fetched memory information can also help you know if the configuration has been applied correctly.

In addition, knowing memory specifications can help determine the right size, speed, and brand to purchase compatible upgrade kits. If your computer's performance is slowing due to memory-intensive applications or games, upgrading the memory can improve performance. Details such as the manufacturer's name, part number, and serial number can be useful when contacting technical support, for example, when you have to troubleshoot hardware and software-related issues. On Windows 10 or Windows 11, the ability to check the technical specifications of the memory installed on your computer will come in handy in many situations.
