Recently I wrote article about Speccy, a handy little application that checks out all aspects of your hardware. See my blog –  Ever wanted to check your Computer’s Hardware Components?

Well, here’s another useful application which I’ve used in the past. It is called Belarc Advisor. This is what its website says:

“The Belarc Advisor displays a detailed profile of your installed software, hardware and vulnerabilities in your Web browser. Click here to download a free copy for personal use. . . . The Belarc Advisor is not permitted to be used for any commercial purposes.”

It analyses the following Operating Systems –Windows 7, Vista, 2008, XP, 2000, NT 4, Me, 98, and 95. Both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows is supported.

It lists all Hardware Devices and installed software applications providing you with Software Licence Registration Numbers and other details.

If you wish to download this useful little tool, use this hyperlink for its website:

Installation

Once you download the Belarc’s installation file go ahead and install it. Following installation, Belarc commences analysing and checking your computer system, hardware and software. It prepares a report within your Web Browser.

Note: Belarc is compatible with the following browsers – Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. When it finishes you can print the entire report.

Belarc adds its shortcut icon to your Desktop so whenever you make changes to hardware and software you can get it to run a new check on your entire system.

Belarc is very thorough and comprehensive. I commend this program to you!
