Hardware Inventory

Everything inside your PC — the way a technician would want to see it, organized into tabs.

What it does

Hardware Inventory is a deep look at the physical components inside your PC, broken into seven focused tabs. It pulls data from Windows' own sources (WMI, the registry, SMART drive logs) and presents it without the usual clutter — no "unknown device 1 of 37" nonsense you get from Device Manager.

The tabs

Overview

A one-glance summary: manufacturer and model of the PC, OS version, CPU name, RAM total, primary GPU, motherboard, and BIOS version. Perfect for the "what do I own?" question.

CPU

Model name, clock speed, core and thread count, cache sizes, socket, architecture (x64 / ARM64), and virtualization support (Hyper-V capable). Useful when checking compatibility for new software or VMs.

Memory

A summary line (total RAM, speed, and slots used) plus a table with one row per installed DIMM showing capacity, speed, manufacturer, and part number. Great for ordering matching sticks to upgrade.

Storage

Every physical drive with model, size, and interface (SATA, NVMe). Below that, SMART data — the drive's own self-reported health metrics, including reallocated sectors, read errors, and (for SSDs) wear level. A failing drive often shows up here months before it actually dies.

GPU

Graphics cards and chips, with VRAM amount, driver version, and display outputs. If you have both an integrated (Intel/AMD) and discrete (NVIDIA/AMD Radeon) GPU, both appear.

Motherboard & BIOS

Motherboard manufacturer and model, chipset, BIOS version and date, Secure Boot and TPM status. Useful when checking whether your PC can run Windows 11 or whether you need a BIOS update.

Network Adapters

Every network interface — Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, virtual adapters — with MAC address, driver version, and current connection status. Helps when diagnosing WiFi/LAN problems or cloning MAC addresses.

SMART values to pay attention to

SMART attributes are the storage industry's health self-report. A few specific ones matter more than others:

Reallocated Sectors Count — a non-zero, growing number on an HDD is bad news.
Current Pending Sectors — sectors Windows couldn't read and is waiting to test. Any value above 0 warrants backup.
SSD Wear Leveling / Percentage Used — above 80% means the SSD is nearing end of life.
Temperature — sustained readings over 60°C for HDDs or 70°C for SSDs shorten drive life.

How to use it

Go to Info → Hardware.
Click through the tabs to browse. Each tab loads on demand, so the first click may show "Loading…" for a second.
Click Export Report at the bottom to save a full hardware dump to a file.

Upgrading RAM? Open the Memory tab and photograph it — take the speed, voltage, and slot count to the shop with you. Matching spec is critical; mixing 2666 MHz with 3200 MHz usually forces both down to the slower speed.

If a storage SMART attribute is in the red, back up the drive immediately. SMART is conservative — a single red marker usually means the drive has already been dying for weeks. Replace before it refuses to boot.
