How to find how old the System

Several facial options are available when determining the age of a computer purchased through a standard retailer.This article describes, how we can find how old the system. The fastest method is to use the BIOS associated with your laptop or desktop. You can often find out the date of manufacture from the BIOS.

One way is to check the computer’s basic input/output system, or BIOS, software to see when it was installed. Sometimes, the BIOS displays this information when you boot the computer.

If it doesn’t do so automatically, look for a BIOS menu option when you turn on the computer. Often a computer says something like “Press F2 for Setup.” Follow these instructions and search for a date within the menus. Make sure not to change any settings you don’t want to change or don’t understand.

In an age where our technology gets smarter and wiser by the month, we typically overlook the integral machinery that makes our computers so intuitive.

Each and every time you press your PC’s power button, the BIOS is the first operation to load your operating system and all the personal settings that make your computer your own.
