Haddi aad hadiyad ahaan u heshay kombayutarka ama aad doonayso inaad iibsato nooc la isticmaalay ama laga dhimay, markaa waxa laga yaabaa inaad la yaabto sidaad u sheegi lahayd da'da kumbiyuutarkaagu.

In kasta oo aysan had iyo jeer ahayn nidaam sax ah ama toos ah, waxaa suurtagal ah in aad fikrad fiican ka heshid inta da'da kombuyuutarkaaga Windows uu yahay adiga oo adeegsanaya dhowr farsamo.

Maxaa Sababay Da'da Kumbuyuutarkaaga

Waxaa jira dhowr sababood oo ka badan sababta aad u rabto inaad ogaato sanadka uu kombuyuutarku sameeyay ama jiilka tignoolajiyada kumbuyuutarka ee ay iska leedahay:

• Go'aaminta haddii kumbiyuutarku weli ku jiro dammaanadda.
• Hubinta in waxa iibiyuhu ka sheegay da'da kombayutarka ay run yihiin.
• Ka shaqaynta in kumbiyuutarku weli la cusboonaysiin karo^{(upgradeable)} .

Tiknoolajiyada kombuyuutarku^(Computer) si dhakhso ah ayey u socotaa, inkasta oo kombuyuutarku wali si fiican u shaqeynayo, haddana sifooyinkiisa iyo waxqabadkiisa ayaa laga yaabaa inaysan u fiicnayn shaqooyinka caadiga ah maanta.

Goorma ayuu Kombuyuutarku aad u duugoobayaa?

Tani waa su'aal badan oo aan ka helno akhristayaasha kuwaas oo raba inay u iibsadaan kombuyuutar da'da ah xubin qoys ama doonaya inay ogaadaan haddii ay tahay inay beddelaan kombuyuutar jira.

Jawaabtu waa "waxay kuxirantahay', sababtoo ah waxa kombuyuutarku loo isticmaalo ayaa go'aaminaya haddii uu leeyahay waxqabad ku filan oo la soo bandhigay. Haddii kombuyuutarku weli buuxiyo ama dhaafo shuruudaha ugu yar ee codsiyada aad u baahan tahay inaad ku shaqeyso, markaa ma jirto sabab lagu beddelo. Marka la eego sida ay u awood badan yihiin kombuyuutarrada xitaa toban sano ka hor, haddii aad u baahan tahay oo kaliya inaad sameyso daalacashada shabakadda aasaasiga ah iyo wax soo saarka, waxay u badan tahay inay weli fiican yihiin.

Arrin aad u weyn ayaa ah taageerada software. Microsoft Windows waa nidaamka hawlgalka ugu caansan adduunka, laakiin Windows 11 ma wada taageerto laakiin (waqtiga qorista) jiilasha CPU ee ugu dambeeyay . Taariikhda dhamaadka nolosha Windows 10 waa 14 Oktoobar 2025^{(October 2025)} , haddii aad u baahato Windows taariikhdan dhaaftay, waxaad u baahan doontaa kombuyuutar shaqayn kara Windows 11 ama ka dib. Ma sii xidhnaan kartid noocyadii hore sida Windows Vista ama 7 maadaama aanay kuwani helin wax cusub, gaar ahaan cusboonaysiinta amniga.

Ka soo qaad^(Suppose) inaadan u baahnayn Windows OS . Gaar ahaan, waxaad had iyo jeer ku rakibi kartaa mid ka mid ah qaybinta badan ee cajiibka ah ee Linux^{(install one of the many wonderful distributions of Linux)} , kaas oo si fiican u awood u leh inuu noqdo nidaamka hawlgalka darawalnimada maalin kasta.

1. Hubi sanduuqa ^(Box)kumbiyuutarku^{(Computer Came)} soo galay

Haddii baakadda asalka ah ee kombuyuutarku ay weli ag yaallo ama dukumentiyada la socday, waxaa jirta fursad wanaagsan in taariikhda wax soo saarka lagu shaabadeeyo meel baakadda ama buug-gacmeedka. Tani inta badan waa khiyaamo khuseysa laptops-yada, maadaama xitaa nidaamyada desktop-ka ee horay loo dhisay ay caadiyan ka soo uruuriyeen qaybaha shelf-ka-baxsan, mid walbana wata taariikhdiisa gaarka ah.

2. Hubi istiikaarka Lambarka Taxanaha ah

Xitaa haddii aad muddo dheer iska tuurtay sanduuqa kombiyuutarka, waxay u badan tahay inaadan iska saarin istiikarada lambarka taxanaha ah. Xaalado badan, taariikhda wax-soo-saarka ayaa si cad loogu sheegi doonaa dhejisyadan. Xitaa haddii aysan muuqan, taariikhda wax soo saarka mararka qaarkood waxaa lagu dhejiyaa lambarka taxanaha. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad raadiso haddii ay taasi tahay kiiska adoo isticmaalaya goob raadin si aad u ogaato sida loo fasiro macluumaad kasta oo dheeraad ah oo ku qoran lambarka taxanaha ah.

3. Hubi gudaha ^(Inside)Kiis^{(Computer Case)} Kombiyuutarka

Haddii aad haysato kombuyuutar desktop ah oo leh dhinac si fudud loo saari karo, waxa laga yaabaa inaad dhab ahaantii hesho taariikhda wax-soo-saarka kumbiyuutarka oo ku daabacan calaamad gudaha nidaamka. Waxa kale oo aad ka hubin kartaa Motherboard-ka laftiisa taariikhda wax soo saarka, inkasta oo dabcan tani ay kaliya kuu sheegayso da'da Motherboard-ka laftiisa. Sidaas oo ay tahay, haddii aan kumbuyuutarka si weyn loo cusboonaysiin, waa in taariikhda la sameeyo Motherboard-ku ay ku dhowdahay celceliska da'da kumbiyuutarka laftiisa.

Waxa la mid ah qayb kasta oo ka mid ah, markaa haddii aad dareento inaad u baahan tahay waxaad sidoo kale ka hubin kartaa taariikhda stamps ee qayb kasta oo kale. In kasta oo kiiska CPU , ma habboona in laga saaro heatsink (iyo koollada kulaylka) si aad u aragto taariikh, sababtoo ah waxaad si fudud uga soo qaadan kartaa moodalka CPU .

Haddii aad haysato laptop leh guddi hoose oo la rari karo, waxa kale oo aad arki kartaa macluumaadkan oo ku daabacan sabuuradda dhexe marar badan, laakiin inta badan lagama maarmaan ma aha mar haddii taariikhda meel kale lagu tilmaamo.

4. Ka hubi taariikhda ^(Sysinfo)BIOS^{(BIOS Date)} Sysinfo

Tilmaame kale oo wanaagsan oo muujinaya da'da kumbiyuutarku waa da'da firmware-ka Motherboard-ka. Tan waxa loo yaqaan BIOS ( Basic Input Output System ) kombiyuutarada hore, laakiin kombiyuutarada casriga ah, tan waxaa lagu bedelay UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface ).

Badanaa waxaa jira fure gaar ah oo ay tahay inaad riixdo marka kombuyuutarku kor u kacayo si tan loo galo, laakiin haddii aad ku shaqeyneyso Windows , way sahlan tahay inaad isticmaasho barnaamijka macluumaadka nidaamka^{(System Information)} .

Riix ^(Press)badhanka Start^{(Start Button)} si aad u furto Start Menu oo ku qor Nidaamka Macluumaadka^{(System Information)} (systeminfo.exe) gudaha Windows Search , ka dibna dooro marka ay soo baxdo natiijooyinka.

Ka dooro Nidaamka Kooban^{(Select System Summary)} ee muraayadda gacanta bidix, ka dibna raadi BIOS Version/Date , waxaadna arki doontaa taariikhda halkaas ku qoran.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, tani waa xal aan qummanayn sababtoo ah waxay muujinaysaa taariikhda cusbooneysiinta firmware-ka ugu dambeeyay, ma aha taariikhda kombiyuutarka la sameeyay. Markaa haddii la helay cusboonaysiin dhow, tani waxay noqon kartaa wax yar marin habaabin ah.

5. Isticmaal amarka degdega^{(Command Prompt)} ah si aad u hubiso taariikhda rakibida asalka ah ee Microsoft Windows^{(Microsoft Windows Original Install Date)}

Waxaad isticmaali kartaa Command Prompt ( CMD.exe ) ama Windows PowerShell si aad u hubiso taariikhda nidaamkaaga Windows -ka la rakibay. Kaliya^(Simply) ka fur Menu-ka Start Menu ka Taskbar oo ku qor " Command Prompt ," oo socodsii barnaamijka. Haddii kale, Press Win + R , ku qor "cmd" oo tabo Gelida^(Enter) .

In Command Prompt , ku qor systeminfo | Find /i “install date” iyo taariikhda rakibida ayaa la soo bandhigi doonaa.

Sida habka taariikhda BIOS , waxaas oo dhan ayaa kuu sheegaya goorta la rakibay nuqulka hadda ee Windows . Haddii qof uu dib u rakibo Windows ama loo cusboonaysiiyo nooc cusub, taariikhdu waxay ka tarjumaysaa halkii da'da kumbuyuutarka laftiisa. Weli, dad badan ayaa waligood u cusboonaysiin nooc cusub oo Windows ah ama dib u rakibaan nidaamyadooda ku shaqeeya, sidaa darteed weli waa khiyaamo faa'iido leh in la haysto.

6. Hubi "Taariikhda La Bedelay" ama "Creed" sifada Faylka Daaqadaha^{(Windows Folder)}

Haddii aadan ku qanacsanayn inaad ku dhex milanto Command Prompt , waxaad heli kartaa macluumaad la mid ah adiga oo eegaya sifooyinka galka rakibaadda Windows .

Fur File Explorer^{(Open File Explorer)} ( Win + E waa hab-yar-yar oo tan) oo u gudub C drive halkaas oo aad ka heli doonto gal Windows . Haddii faylka Windows uusan meesha ku jirin, waxay la macno tahay in qofkii ku rakibay nuqulkaas Windows uu isticmaalay meel gaar ah, markaa waa inaad raadisaa.

Midig ku dhufo^{(Right-click)} galka Windows oo dooro Properties.

Hoosta tabka Guud^(General) , waxaad ka heli doontaa qayb "Taariikhda wax laga beddelay" ama qayb "Created", taas oo ku xidhan nooca Windows .

Tani waxay kuu sheegi doontaa marka faylka la sameeyay. Haddii aad u malaynayso in saacada kombuyuutarku ay sax ahayd wakhtigaas, tani waxay kuu sheegaysaa markii Windows la rakibay.

7. Hubi qaabka CPU

CPU ( Central Processing Unit ) kombiyuutarku waa furaha lagu ogaanayo da'da kumbiyuutarku. CPU - gu waa qaybta ugu muhiimsan ee inta ka hartay kumbiyuutarka inta badan lagu dhex dhiso. Markaa waa tilmaan wanaagsan oo muujinaysa da'da kumbiyuutarku. Xitaa haddii qaybaha kale ee tafatirka ay yihiin kuwa cusub, CPU -gu waxay xaddidaysaa waxqabadka ugu sarreeya ee hababka kumbuyuutarka ee asaasiga ah.

Sida ugu fudud ee aad ku arki karto CPU gaaga waa in aad furto Hawlaha^{(Task Manager)} shaqada ee Windows oo aad ka hubiso hoosta Performance tab ee qaybta CPU . Waxaad arki doontaa moodalkaaga CPU sida halkan ku qoran.

Kaliya dhagsii badhanka Apple ee geeska bidix ee sare oo dooro Mac -kan . Sannadka moodeelka kombuyuutarkaaga waxa lagu qori doonaa midigta sare, fudud!

8 Ways to Tell the Age of Your Windows Computer

If you’ve received a computer as a gift or are looking to buy a used оr discounted model, then yoυ may bе wondering how to tеll how old your computer is.

While it’s not always a precise or straightforward process, it’s possible to get a good idea of how old your Windows computer is by applying a few tricks.

Why Your Computer’s Age Matters

There are more than a few reasons why you’d want to know what year a computer was made or what generation of computer technology it belongs to:

• Determining if a computer is still within warranty.
• Checking whether what a seller says about a computer’s age is true.
• Working out whether a computer is still upgradeable.

Computer technology moves so quickly that, although a computer might still be in good working order, its features and performance may no longer be any good for typical jobs today.

When Is a Computer Too Old?

This is a question we get a lot from readers who either want to buy an older computer for a family member or want to know if they should replace an existing computer.

The answer is “it depends’, since what the computer is used for determines if it has enough performance on offer. If the computer still meets or exceeds the minimum requirements for the applications you need to run, then there’s no reason to replace it. Given how powerful computers from even ten years ago still are, if you only need to do basic web browsing and productivity, they’re probably still fine.

A much bigger issue is software support. Microsoft Windows is the most popular operating system in the world, but Windows 11 does not support all but (at the time of writing) the most recent CPU generations. Windows 10’s end-of-life date is 14 October 2025, and if you need Windows past this date, you’ll need a computer that can run Windows 11 or later. You can’t hang on to old versions like Windows Vista or 7 since those don’t get updates, especially security updates.

Suppose you don’t need the Windows OS. In particular, you can always install one of the many wonderful distributions of Linux, which is perfectly capable of being a daily-driver operating system for anyone.

1. Check the Box the Computer Came In

If the computer’s original packaging is still around or the documentation that came with it, there’s a good chance the manufacturing date is stamped somewhere on the packaging or in the manual. This is usually only a trick that applies to laptops, since even prebuilt desktop systems are typically assembled from off-the-shelf components, each with their individual date.

2. Check the Serial Number Sticker

Even if you’ve long thrown away the computer’s box, you probably haven’t removed the serial number sticker. In many cases, the manufacturing date will be plainly stated on these stickers. Even if it isn’t apparent, the manufacturing date is sometimes encoded in the serial number. You may have to look up if this is the case using a web search so that you know how to interpret any extra information encoded in the serial number.

3. Check the Inside of the Computer Case

If you have a desktop computer with an easily-removable side panel, you may actually find the computer’s manufacturing date printed on a label inside the system. You can also check the motherboard itself for a manufacturing date, although of course this only tells you the age of the motherboard itself. Still, unless the computer has been upgraded extensively, the motherboard’s date of manufacture should be close to the average age of the computer itself.

The same goes for almost any component, so if you feel you need to you can check for date stamps on every other component too. Although in the case of the CPU, it’s not worth removing the heatsink (and heat paste) to see a date, because you can simply infer it from the model of CPU.

If you have a laptop with a removable bottom panel, you may also see this information printed on the mainboard in many cases, but it’s usually not necessary since the date should be indicated elsewhere.

4. Check the BIOS Date With Sysinfo

Another good indicator of how old a computer is is the age of the motherboard’s firmware. This was referred to as the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) on older computers, but on modern computers, this has been replaced with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface).

There’s usually a special key that you must press when the computer boots up to access this, but if you’re running Windows, it’s easier to use the System Information app instead.

Press the Start Button to open the Start Menu and type System Information (systeminfo.exe) into Windows Search, then select it when it comes up in the results.

Select System Summary in the left-hand pane, then look for BIOS Version/Date, and you’ll see a date listed there.

However, this is an imperfect solution because it shows the date of the latest firmware update, not the date the computer was made. So if it’s received a recent update, this could be a little misleading.

5. Use the Command Prompt to Check the Microsoft Windows Original Install Date

You can use the Command Prompt (CMD.exe) or Windows PowerShell to check the date your Windows system was installed. Simply open the Start Menu from the Taskbar and type “Command Prompt,” and run the program. Alternatively, Press Win + R, type “cmd” and press Enter.

In Command Prompt, type systeminfo | find /i “install date” and the installation date will be displayed.

As with the BIOS date method, all this tells you is when the current copy of Windows was installed. If anyone reinstalled Windows or upgraded to a newer version, the date will reflect that rather than the age of the computer itself. Still, plenty of people never upgrade to a newer version of Windows or reinstall their operating systems, so it’s still a useful trick to have.

6. Check the “Date Modified” or “Created” Attribute of the Windows Folder

If you aren’t comfortable messing around in the Command Prompt, you can get similar information by inspecting the attributes of the Windows installation folder.

Open File Explorer (Win + E is a handy shortcut for this) and navigate to the C drive where you’ll find the Windows folder. If the Windows folder isn’t there, it means that whoever installed that copy of Windows used a custom location, so you’ll have to search for it.

Right-click on the Windows folder and choose Properties.

Under the General tab, you’ll either find a “Date Modified” section or a “Created” section, depending on the version of Windows.

This will tell you when the folder was made. Assuming the computer’s clock was accurate at that time, this tells you when Windows was installed.

7. Check the CPU Model

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) of a computer is key to figuring out how old a computer is. The CPU is the main component that the rest of the computer is usually built around. So it’s a good indicator of how old a computer is. Even if the other component specs are newer, the CPU limits the maximum performance of core computer processes.

The easiest way to see your CPU is to open the Task Manager in Windows and check under the Performance tab for the CPU section. You’ll see your CPU model as listed here.

Then you can take that model number, put it into a search box of a site like Google or on the manufacturer’s website and find out when it was first produced, which will give you a good idea of the computer’s technological generation.

8. Checking the Age of Individual Components

If you’re faced with a desktop system that’s not a factory pre-built machine, it can be hard to tell the age of your computer. After all, some components may be much newer than others. Companies like Dell also sell refurbished computers where only components that haven’t passed a quality test make it into the build. So there could be a mix of old and new stuff.

This can be a problem because components like power supplies and mechanical hard drives are far more likely to fail the older they get since they have moving parts that wear out.

In this case, you need to inspect each individual component for its serial number or release date information.

What About Macs?

You may be wondering how to tell the age of an Apple Mac running macOS. The good news is that we can say it to you in just a sentence or two. Simply click the Apple button at the top-left corner and select About This Mac. The model year of your computer will be written right at the top, easy!
