Sometimes it is useful to know exactly what makes up a particular PC or server. Belarc Advisor is a software program that is free for personal use at http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html. It produces what Belarc calls a “Free Personal PC Audit”.
Once it is run, Belarc Advisor produces a wealth of information about your PC. Just some of the information you are presented includes:
- Hardware (including all the specifics about your processor, serial number, service tag, memory, controllers, accounts, display, multi-media, virus protection, communications, devices, etc.)
- Software (all packages installed including licensing information, Windows service packs and updates installed, etc.)
You can’t go wrong with this type of information. It’s a life-saver if you ever need it.
