Can You Run It?

     I know most PC gamers always ponder if their computer is able to run a game. However, to do that is a huge hassle. You will have to look up what graphic card or how much ram the game recommends, and then you would have to check up if your computer is able to match those recommendations. This is a huge pain even for people who do know how to obtain all these information. I used to have that problem until I found Can You Run It?. This website will automatically retrieve all of the information it needs from your computer and compare it to a game to see if you are able to play it. Today I will show you step-by-step on how to use the website to check up if your computer is able to play Skyrim. However, please only use the information from the website as a guide to see if you're able to play a game because each computer is different from each other, so it is impossible to get an exact answer.
