ScoreTweak

While the Windows Experience Index was never the most comprehensive way to assess your system’s performance, it provided users with a quick way to tell if there were any particular components holding their computer back.

ScoreTweak is an open-source tool that lets you calculate the Windows Experience Index even on Windows 8.1 and 10, where it is no longer available. It generates the results instantly, and it is fully portable.

If you’re looking for a simple method of identifying bottlenecks, the Windows Experience Index can provide a solution. It quickly assesses the capabilities of various components and awards a score to each of them.

For a more in-depth benchmark, you will need to use a comprehensive utility designed for this purpose. The advantage of using WEI, however, is that the results are shown instantly.

Getting started is as simple as you can expect. Simply launch the executable file, and the results will be displayed in a new window. There is no need to wait for a benchmark to be run, and you don’t have to install anything beforehand.

Subscores are calculated for your processor, RAM, graphics card, gaming graphics and hard disk. The base score represents the lowest subscore, indicating which component is the weakest and may be causing a bottleneck.

The application's file size is negligible, and it does not require installation. It does not leave any data behind on your PC after it is run, and you can launch it from portable storage devices without any issues.

ScoreTweak is a simple but useful piece of software for users who have upgraded from Windows 7 but still want to calculate their Windows Experience Index. It is lightweight, portable and very easy to use.
