Final answer:
The correct Windows tool to quickly assess the amount of RAM recognized by the system is the Task Manager. You can also use the System Information or the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool for more detailed diagnostics.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking for a Windows tool that can quickly assess how much RAM the system recognizes. A suitable tool that comes pre-installed with the Windows operating system is the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. However, for simply checking the amount of RAM recognized by the system, accessing System Information or using the Task Manager is quicker and easier.
To use the Task Manager, follow these steps:
- Right-click on the Taskbar and select 'Task Manager' or press Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
- Click on the 'Performance' tab.
- Look at the 'Memory' section to see the total RAM recognized by your system.
If you need to perform a diagnostic for RAM issues rather than just checking the amount recognized, you can search for 'Windows Memory Diagnostic' in the Start menu and run the tool following the on-screen instructions.
