Windows 7: How To Get All Hardware Information Completely?

Windows 7 Professional

Is there a convenient way, say with one command or click, to get all the hardware information of my system ( example, CPU, RAM, motherboard, video card, sound card, etc ) put into one file?

Thanks

Steve

The only one I know of personally is HWiNFO:

HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools

It's not perfect, but it's still not bad. For example: it shows my sound card as simply "Creative X-Fi" instead of showing that it's the XtremeGamer.

Oh Britton, I recommend that you check out HWiNFO. It's way better than msinfo. Msinfo leaves quite a bit to be desired.

(by the way, typing msinfo into the Start Menu search doesn't bring anything up. I have to type system information)

Maybe I'm old school, but I never understand why people look for software for this type of info. I guess it helps if you inherit a PC for a little, but nothing replaces knowing the info for yourself. If a person builds a computer, they should know every little bit about it. If not, then between device manager and opening the case, you should be able to get all the info you need. I would trust that method much more than software.

But tinker123 needs an easy ability to put it into one file. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to sit here typing it all up if there's software that will basically do that for me.

You wouldn't be typing up a novel...just a few lines. I have a spreadsheet in my SkyDrive account where I keep hardware list of all of my computers, and those of family and friends I support. It takes about 2 minutes to fill out a section for one of the computers. Most of those software apps just read drivers, which can be less-than-descriptive. That's why I recommend knowing the hardware off hand, or knowing how to find it accurately.
