This software actually extracts information from the BIOS and displays it on the screen. It provides us with useful information such as how many RAM memory sockets we have, sockets, processors and much more.
HWinfo
This program is more advanced than the last two and is very useful in situations like wanting to know which computer computer mounts the motherboard.
But first you should know that this software is available in two versions: HWiNFO32 and HWiNFO64.

- HWiNFO64: If your computer is 64 bit.
If you want to know if your operating system is one type or another, just press the Windows button and type CMD. We get a black screen in which we have to type: echo% PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%. Pressing Enter will tell us if our luggage is x32 or x64.
