Is this service free to use?

Yes! Will I Run It is completely free to use. We believe every gamer should have access to compatibility information before purchasing games.

How accurate are the compatibility results?

Our compatibility checker uses official system requirements from game developers and real-world performance data. While we strive for 95%+ accuracy, actual performance can vary based on system optimization, drivers, and other running applications.

Do I need to download any software?

No downloads required! Everything works directly in your web browser. For the most accurate results, you can optionally run our quick system detection tool.

How do you detect my computer specifications?

We use browser APIs and optional system detection tools to identify your hardware. This includes your CPU, GPU, RAM, and operating system. All detection is done locally and securely.

What if my hardware isn't detected correctly?

You can manually enter your system specifications if automatic detection fails. We also provide guides on how to find your hardware information on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Is my system information stored or shared?

No, we don't store your personal system information. Detection results are processed locally in your browser and only used for compatibility checking during your session.

Can I save my system profile for future use?

Yes! You can create a system profile that's stored locally in your browser for quick compatibility checks without re-entering your specifications.
