1421516 2016-06-06 00:17:00 Our laptop has had Windows 10 for a while and it is definitely the one operating. Have just run Belarc Advisor to get info on my RAM and see that Belarc says that our operating system is Windows 8.1. How can this be and can I have faith in the other info it gives me ! Misty (368)
1421517 2016-06-06 00:29:00 it obviously hasn't bee updated to understand the Windows 10 version number.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

1421518 2016-06-06 00:30:00 Ask them. Did you install 8.5c? The latest version. Use speccy it'll tell you Speedy Gonzales (78)
1421519 2016-06-06 00:40:00 Thanks Speedy - when I went to run Belarc Advisor it had asked whether I wanted to update and I responded yes, so it downloaded the update. Apparently I now have version 8.4, though you mention 8.5c, which I have not been offered. Would that make a lot of difference ? Misty (368)
1421520 2016-06-06 00:43:00 It may. I dont use it tho. I use Speccy Speedy Gonzales (78)
1421521 2016-06-06 00:52:00 Thanks again Speedy - I will certainly look at Speccy. Had not realised up to now that it is an alternative program for much the same purpose. Misty (368)
1421522 2016-06-06 01:00:00 Yup its not bad, tells you everything as well the temp, the hardware, the OS, the updates . If you install it click on advanced. In case it installs chrome Speedy Gonzales (78)
1421523 2016-06-06 01:21:00 Will do that Speedy, especially as not a fan of Chrome. Misty (368)
1421524 2016-06-10 22:14:00 Have downloaded Speccy, Speedy, and it's very good. Quick process, both downloading and using ! :-D Misty (368)
1421525 2016-06-11 03:38:00 Sweet ! Speedy Gonzales (78)
