Why each option
Device Manager displays all installed and detected hardware, making it the correct tool to determine whether a PC has an embedded wireless network adapter.
Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) enumerates all hardware components detected by Windows, including embedded wireless adapters listed under the Network Adapters category. A technician can immediately see whether a wireless card is present, its driver status, and its hardware ID without physically opening the machine.
Component Services (dcomcnfg) manages COM, COM+, and DCOM application configurations and has no hardware enumeration capability.
Services (services.msc) lists Windows background services and their states but does not display hardware components or device information.
System Configuration (msconfig) manages startup items, boot settings, and services but does not enumerate physical hardware devices.
