"Can I Run It?"--System Requirements Lab will check the minimum requirements (as stated by the developers) for a computer game against the resources of your PC, and let you know if the game can be run on your computer. You must download their (free) app to your PC, which raises security concerns, but--so far!--no security problems have been reported. The app produces results much more quickly than your one-by-one "manual" comparison of requirements vs resources, but that's about it: the app can't evaluate "marginal" results--such as "this game will PROBABLY run on your PC, but it may run with crashes and glitches"--any better than you can.
I tried this with "Detroit: Become Human," and got a "probably will run" on my virtual PC (I've got a Mac with what used to be called "Boot Camp," now EFI, running Windows 10). The game did install OK, with a warning about an obsolete graphics driver, and even started, but then hung, or crashed. The Mac's graphics card was, in fact, incompatible with the game, and Systems Requirements Lab didn't catch that. So, CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Great if you are running a lower spec PC, allows you to know if your system will run a game. Works well and would recommend
