In their own words
Speccy
Speccy is a Windows system information tool that summarizes a PC’s hardware and provides component-level details. It reports on the CPU, motherboard, RAM, and graphics card, while also displaying real-time temperatures for critical components. Its system coverage includes the operating system, audio, storage, network, peripherals, and environmental settings. Info Finder helps locate particular system details, and S.M.A.R.T. support provides hard-drive diagnostic data. Scan results can be saved as snapshots, XML, or text files. Publish Snapshot can make specifications available at a public internet address without publishing the computer’s public IP address. Speccy has a free home-use plan and a Professional plan at $19.95 as a one-time purchase, which includes automatic updates and premium support. A separate CCleaner Professional Plus plan is $59.95 as a one-time purchase and covers up to three PCs with CCleaner and Recuva products. Free and Professional are for home use; business customers are directed to a business edition. Listed requirements span Windows XP through Windows 10, 32-bit and 64-bit, excluding RT tablet editions.
