Hey guys I recently have been wanting to play skyrim on the PC and I just need to know if I can run it on my laptop. Well, the problem is I don't know how to look at my PC specs. All I know what to look at is my RAM and stuff that is in My Computer folder. I have a Windows 7 CORE i5 Pavilion(I only know its called a Pavilion) so if someone can tell me how to look at my full computer specs I can then post them here and then you can tell me if I can play the game. Thanks in advance.

start > type in search bar "dxdiag" > click it > click no

also alt+printscreen copies the active window to your clipboard if you prefer to post pictures
(will still need to open paint > save > upload)

You need a strong CPU for Skyrim as it doesn't care much about GPU or some reason.

post the display tab too, that's where your GPU is

Integrated GPU, no Skyrim for you.

It was probably a $500 laptop though.

It might run fine for you.
I've got a 6470m and P6200 processor, but as this game is mainly processor based, you may be able to run it as you have a better processor. I get like 20+ fps, quite horrible performance, but no wonder as laptop processors are weak if they have also to do the gpu's job. Well, at least the game is playable...

I can run Skyrim on full graphic settings.

Until my computer starts to overheat because I'm a lazy ass who doesn't clean the fan.

$720 actually. I hope it will run. The main reason I want to play the PC version is because of the mods and I want to play as a dragon. Machinima has done it before
