Every month, new amazing games are coming to the market with cool concepts, techniques, graphics, and gameplay. Each one, more exciting than other and we want to play them all too. But new games demand more RAM, faster processor, more graphics RAM, fast internet connection etc. So, as they are more demanding, your PC might not be compatible with all the new PC games always.
So, before downloading or purchasing new PC games, it is always recommended to read the game’s system requirement and also check it against your own system to know whether you can run it on your PC or not.
However, it’s not easy. You can’t just google “Can I Run It?” and it will tell you the answer. You can get the system requirements of PC Games by searching them with terms like “System requirements for Overwatch”, “System Requirements for Fallout 4”, “System Requirements for Minecraft”, “System Requirements for Fortnite”, etc. and your might receive recommended OS version, Processor, RAM, Video Card, Sound Card, HDD Space, etc. details but you are also required to understand them completely.
So, if you are not more of a geek then here I am telling you 3 different ways to let you know “Can I Run This Game?” for any specific PC Games easily. Scroll down to know how to check whetherMet a game is compatible with your PC or not.
Method #1 – Using System Requirements Lab

Method #3 – Check System Requirements Manually
If you don’t know your system specifications, neither do you want to use above methods of installing the scanner to your PC then you need to first know your system specifications. For it, either search “System Information” or press Win + R to open Run Dialogue Box and then write msinfo32 in it.
In both ways, you PC will open System Information window telling all the specifications of your System.
