Hi again everyone!
I sold my laptop last year in the Philippines while I was there because there was an immense shortage and people were offering more than I paid for it even though it was over 2 years old.
The gentleman who purchased my laptop ran a diagnostic test somehow by going to start, run, then typed in something like:
msdiagnostic
I cannot remember what exactly he typed into the run but suddenly a diagnostic test appeared on the screen and 5 minutes later he paid me in cash. He paid me the same amount I paid for the laptop 2 years ago even though the laptop was thrashed and had a major scratch on the screen and lots of dings on the outside of the case.
I am curious, how did he run that diagnostic test and can I try that on my new system too? And how might I run that program?
Thanks again everyone!
