Kiwi System Info

There’s a lot more to your hardware components besides what Windows allows you to see by default, but unless you’re into development, you don’t really need to know more. If you do, there are tons of specialized applications like Kiwi System Info which can provide all necessary details regarding different computer features.

One major advantage is that you don’t even have to install the application to make it work, meaning you can use it on other computers directly from a thumb drive, and without having to worry that the target PC gets affected, because registries are not a dependency. However, it’s best to run it with administrator privileges so it can gather all details it needs.

The visual design is pretty well organized to provide a clear view, considering the amount of details it provides. An upper toolbar lets you easily select all areas of interest like hardware info, data storage, memory, system info, network, user & security, developer, or all. That’s not all, because each area comes with a staggering amount of sections selectable from a drop-down menu.

Depending on the selected set of details, it can take a while to load the list. Don’t worry though, because a lengthy load time only applies to some specialized fields, such as developer info, for which all readable classes, and functions of the OS are displayed. Automatic refresh interval can be set in seconds, as well as an option to hide items with no values.

Info is displayed in an organized table, with major section headers clearly visible because of the different font used, while related item rows differently colored for even easier identification. Although there’s no search option, you can easily hit a letter on your keyboard to jump to an items which starts with it. In case you need to generate a report, the application can export a TXT with current set of values.

To sum it up, you don’t always need to know that much about your computer, but when you do, Kiwi System Info can surely provide all details you’re looking for. With no installation required, it can easily be run on multiple computers with little effort, while the amount of details, as well as the organized interface make it definitely a keeper.
