Today's Quick Tip....
How to quickly get detailed info about your PC's hardware
Do you know the specs for every hardware component that's inside your Windows PC?
Are you curious to find out?
Today I'm going to tell you about a very simple way to quickly get comprehensive and detailed information (i.e. detailed specs) for virtually every hardware component that's inside your PC's case.
Did I mention that it's simple?
All you have to do is download and run an awesome portable hardware info app called Speccy.
Using Speccy couldn't be easier...
Simply visit this page and click the big green Download Now button that's located near the bottom of the page.
Next, extract the files from the zipped folder and double-click on Speccy64.exe. Once the app is open just select each hardware item in turn to get detailed specs about that specific piece of hardware.
