How To Tell if you can Run TurboLaw
July 25, 2007
Ever wondered if your computer has what it takes to run TurboLaw – or any other program, for that matter? Read on for quick and easy tips on how to determine some basic information about your computer and what’s inside it.
What Version of Windows Do I Have? (Also: How much memory [RAM] is in my computer?)
If there is a “My Computer” icon on your desktop:
- Right-click the “My Computer” icon
- Choose “Properties”
- The version of Windows will be displayed, along with how much memory (RAM) is in your computer.
If there is NOT a “My Computer” icon on your desktop:
- Click on the “Start” menu
- Look for the “My Computer” icon and right-click it
- Choose “Properties”
- The version of Windows will be displayed, along with how much memory (RAM) is in your computer.
If you don’t have an icon labeled “My Computer,” but instead have an icon labeled just “Computer,” you probably have Windows Vista.
- Click on your “Start” menu
- Right-click the “Computer” icon
- Choose “Properties”
- The Version of Windows will be displayed, along with how much memory (RAM) is in your computer.

If you cannot find a “My Computer” or “Computer” icon anywhere:
- Click on the “Start” menu
- Click on “Run”
- Type “notepad” (but without the quotation marks)
- Click “OK” and Notepad will open on your screen
- Click the “Help” menu in Notepad
- Choose “About Notepad”
- The version of both Notepad and Windows will be displayed, along with how much memory (RAM) is in your computer.
What version of Microsoft Word/Excel/Office Do I Have?
- Open Microsoft Word (or Excel)
- Click on the “Help” menu
- Choose “About Microsoft Word” (or Excel) or “About Microsoft Office Word” (or Excel)
- The version will be displayed.
What if there is no “Help” menu?
- This is probably Microsoft Word or Excel 2007. It has no menus – just “tabs” (sometimes called “ribbons”).
How Much Disk Space is Available on My Computer?
- Double-click the “My Computer” or “Computer” icon on your desktop. (Or on your Start Menu – see above for how to find the “My Computer” or “Computer” icon.)
- Right-click the icon for your hard drive. The hard drive is usually labeled “Local Disk (C:)”
- Choose “Properties”
- The total amount of disk space, used disk space, and available disk space will be displayed.
