how can i do that if my PC is using the latest Ubuntu release compatible with a 4 MB RAM PC?
How can I find out my PC's hardware specifications without formatting? (Ubuntu)
Click For Summary
To gather detailed system information on a PC running the latest Ubuntu release with 4 MB RAM, various terminal commands can be utilized. For CPU details, commands such as 'lscpu' or 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' provide comprehensive information. To check RAM specifications, the command 'cat /proc/meminfo' is effective. Additionally, BIOS can offer system details without the need to modify any settings. However, for video parameters, further exploration at the OS level is necessary. Reformatting the system is not required for this process.

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.
