software to view system properties

Have a look at Hirens Boot CD (it's fantastic and has rescued a machine or two for me) - you might have to write a little batch file to fire up the bits you want but is totally full of good utils and bound to have what you're looking for (or something that does the job)... I call it the Swiss Army Knife for Computers. I believe it can run from a USB stick. http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd ++++++++++ Kevin Parker ++++++++++ -----Original Message----- From: cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Cindy Croxton Electronics Plus Sent: Monday, 8 July 2013 1:31 AM To: 'General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts' Subject: software to view system properties We are going to be receiving 16 pallets of laptops shortly, and I am looking for software that does not have to be installed, does not require an OS (there is no hard drive in the laptops), and will export to something that I can import into an Excel spreadsheet. Has anyone ever used this program, or can you suggest an alternative? http://www.gtopala.com/siw-tools/siw-viewer.html We need to run a basic BIOS boot test, check the screen to make sure it is not cracked or gouged, etc. I also want to collect system info such as Manufacturer of the laptop, the model number, the serial number, Processor type and speed, installed memory, and if it has any goodies installed like webcam or wireless. Preferably the program can be run from a USB stick, and will write the system info back to the same stick. Then I can import the system info into a spreadsheet.
