Previously I made a blog post about a very useful windows keyboard shortcut.
Heres another keyboard shortcut that I find incredibly useful as a computer repair technician.
Windows key + Pause Break
This will open up the Windows system panel. From here we can do many things
- Check the computers amount of RAM, Processor type and speed, and Windows bit version (32 or 64).
- Access Device Manager
- Access sytem properties and adjust things for system performance (Visual effects, memory usage, etc).
- Change logon settings
- In Windows 7, change Windows Product Key
As a computer repair tech Im always accessing the System panel. This is the quickest way to get there. A lot easier than control panel or right clicking anything.
I hope that as a regular home user you will also find this useful.
