Rebuilding Computers: HWInfo32
Ever notice that explaining to people that you are a Cisco engineer gets quickly translated to “computer guy” to family and friends? I have rebuilt countless family and friend PCs that are all gunked up with malware, spyware, and who knows what else (“the pop up told me I had 14,020 viruses, so I told it to please fix it…”).
Anyhow, the most painful piece of this process is finding all the drivers. Enter cool-tool-of-the-week: HWInfo32.
This little freeware app reliably detects all major components installed in the PC. Talk about a lifesaver when it comes to an old Dell laptop where they possibly used one of 15 different video card models.
Put this on your USB key…it’s a keeper. Download it from here.
