1. Go to Start, select Settings, and then select System.
2. On the Display tab, scroll to the bottom and select Advanced display settings.
3. Scroll to the bottom and select Display adapter properties. The Adapter Type will display the name of the GPU, and the Dedicated Memory will display the Adapter Type.
