Find Windows Experience Index in Windows 10 Spring Creators Update

Starting in Windows 8.1, Microsoft removed the Windows Experience Index (WEI) feature. Earlier, it could be found in System Properties, but it is not present there any more. In Windows 10 Spring Creators Update version 1803, the Games folder has been also removed. Here are a few alternative methods you can use to find your Windows Experience Index value in Windows 10 Spring Creators Update.

  1. Open a new PowerShell window.
  2. Type or copy-paste the following command:
    Get-CimInstance Win32_WinSat
  3. See the line WinSPRLevel. This is your WEI index. The cmdlet also reports your CPU score, Memory score and other WEI values. Windows 10 WEI PowerShell Correct Values
