Hardware Information

Hardware Information is an easy-to-use application that enables you to analyze hardware-related details about your computer. It features simple options that make it accessible to all types of users, even those inexperienced with such apps.

As long you have .NET Framework installed on your PC, you don't need to set up anything else. The app's packed in a single .exe file that can be copied to a custom location on the HDD or to a USB flash drive, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort. It doesn't make any changes to the Windows registry.

It's wrapped in a classical-looking interface made from a large window with a neatly organized layout, where a PC scan is automatically performed at startup to collect all hardware-oriented information.

You can view details surrounding the BIOS, processor, physical memory, disk, floppy and CD ROM drive, IDE controller, keyboard, pointing device, desktop monitor, video controller, sound device, port connector, network adapter, serial port, printer, USB hub, and uninterruptible power source (UPS).

It's possible to expand and collapse the fields in the tree view, as well as to refresh data with one click if any changes have occurred in the meantime. Although Hardware Information doesn't integrate buttons for copying, printing or exporting data to file, you can select text fields and copy them using the global hotkey or by opening the right-click menu.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, as the tool didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. It left a small footprint on system resources, running on low CPU and RAM. Thanks to its intuitive GUI and options, Hardware Information can be handled with ease by anyone.
