Winformation Description

Winformation is a lightweight, yet efficient application that is capable of retrieving a very rich array of information related to your computer’s hardware and software. Although there's a multitude of similar utilities on the market, Winformation definitely manages to fetch a more detailed report and targets mostly professional users, because of the way it delivers the information - we’ll explain in a bit. Most of the utilities belonging to the System Information software category gather hardware and software details and organize it into categories, which can be easily explored by a less experienced audience. However, Winformation uses the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) in order to fetch the info, which complicates things for beginners but offers a lot of perks for more advanced users. It also organizes the report into categories, but each hardware component will be described by complex properties that will certainly drive beginners away. For instance, we accessed the Disk Drive section, where we encountered parameters such as CreationClassName, ErrorMethodology or DefaultBlockSize which are clearly names specific to the WMI architecture and can be interpreted only by a specialist. As mentioned, the amount of information it retrieves is just overwhelming; a quick summary includes user accounts, processor memory, base board, battery, BIOS, boot configuration, cache memory, disk drive and partition, display config, DMA channel, Floppy controller, network, printers, PCMCIA, UPS, time zone, serial ports, to name just a few. Because it provides such an extensive overview, the search function located in the main window was a very inspired choice. Also, you can save the information, but not all of it at a time (by category). All in all, we can safely state that Winformation is an application worth experimenting with, but recommended to advanced users that have the necessary know-how for such a sophisticated approach.
