Free PC Audit

There are various reasons you may want to make a quick assessment of your computer’s capabilities, and if you want your analysis to include both its hardware and its software, resorting to a software utility might be a good idea.

Free PC Audit is an application that offers to do just that for you since it prompts you a wide array of information about your PC, all in an intuitive GUI.

First things first, it need be mentioned that the program sports an approachable user interface that does not bank on the idea of interactivity. However, that was to be expected, given the informative nature of the app.

All the details it extracts are grouped into three categories, namely “System,” “Software,” and “Processes.”

The first one bundles various details such as the installed operating system, the Windows product ID and key, your IP address, and system type. Then, you can also stumble upon parameters such as the motherboard, chassis, processor, physical memory, printer, multimedia, network adapter, and more, each of them being associated with short descriptions.

As for the “Software” section, it is where you need to go if you want to check all the installed programs along with specifications such as version, product key, publisher, install date, and size.

Even though at first sight this category seems neatly organized, some users might by a bit disappointed that the listed apps lack their original icons and that it is not possible to filter the software based on any parameter.

Regarding the “Processes” compilation, as its very name makes it transparent, it contains all the currently running processes displayed alphabetically.

If you are thinking of storing all the data the program serves you in a report, you can do that, even though its structure is rather rudimentary. To be more specific, it saves the information in a TXT file, but it can also copy only specific lines that you may want to share with others.

On an ending note, Free PC Audit is a lightweight application that offers comprehensive info about your computer’s hardware and software. It does not require any outstanding tech skills in order to use it, and its GUI is intuitive and easy to navigate, even though it may not be the most appealing of the bunch.
