This has nothing to do with reformatting. DO NOT REFORMAT!
Linux has terminal commands to see detailed system information:
For cpu information: 'lscpu' or 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'
For RAM information: 'cat /proc/meminfo'
There are several others. See https://linux.how2shout.com/linux-system-info-commands-using-terminal/

(OK, I know that it was likely a typo
)Ps.: BIOS will be happy to give you the details, just don't save or modify anything there.
Only the video parameters requires some OS level digging.
