Apr 08

Can you remember all the details about the hardware in your computer? Do you know which versions of your software you have installed? There is a simple way to have all this information and more at your fingertips. Just a click of an icon will give you your system details with a useful program called Belarc Advisor.

Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit (Version 7.2k) is free for personal use and can be downloaded at
www.belarc.com.

Besides providing the basics such as operating system, processor, and drives, Belarc’s profile includes details such as:

  • system model
  • motherboard type/model
  • memory slots used/empty
  • BIOS data
  • user accounts
  • detailed drive information
  • mapped drives
  • printers
  • devices
  • network, i.e. MAC and IP addresses
  • Microsoft updates and hotfixes
  • installed software including version and keys
  • The information from a profile of your computer can be handy when updating hardware such as memory upgrades. Having your computer’s profile printed and on hand when dealing with any tech support will save time and provide the support personnel with data they will need. It is also a good idea to print out a profile of all your computers and place them in a safe for insurance purposes.
