If your PC or notebook is older, you may no longer know which processor is installed. Or you’re interested in a second-hand appliance but don’t trust the seller. There are many reasons why you might want to find out which CPU is installed in your device. Fortunately, doing so is a piece of cake, using either the Run command or the Windows icon.

## Determine the installed processor using the Execute command

1. Press Windows key+R on your keyboard to open the Run window.
2. Type «dxdiag» and press Enter. This will open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. You may have to confirm again before you see the window.
3. In addition to your processor, you’ll also find the name of your motherboard, how much RAM and which graphics card is installed.

## Find out the name of your processor using the Windows icon

1. Right-click on the Windows icon at the bottom and select System. This’ll open a window of the same name.
2. Select Info from the list. Depending on the Windows version, you’ll also be taken to this screen directly after right-clicking. The device specifications, including your CPU, are displayed here.

Don’t know which CPU runs your Windows machine? Find out in just a few clicks.

Dehumidifiers are more in demand now than ever. Galaxus sold 91 per cent more of the appliances in 2024 than in the previous year – and five times as many as in 2020. The boom is being driven by new buildings with improved insulation. Added to this was a very warm 2024, which brought a lot of humid air our way from the Mediterranean.

Following a very rainy 2024, demand for dehumidifiers soars

In-ear, over-ear, open, closed, designed for gaming, sports or the office – the headphone industry is creating an ever-increasing range of products, setting trends that include true wireless, hybrid noise-cancelling and AI/smart functions. Galaxus and Digitec sold 25.4 per cent more headphones in Switzerland and the EU in 2024 than in the previous year. But there’s one category of headphone accessories that’s shrinking rapidly.

Headphone sales up 25 per cent – AI is in, cables are out

Batteries and rechargeable batteries were the top-selling products on Galaxus and Digitec in 2024, marking a three-year streak at the top of the sales charts. While consumer staples such as nappies and cleaning products climbed their way up the top ten, Lego sets also emerged as one of the year’s winners. Other consumer trends can be observed further down the ranks.
