What type of detailed information do you need?

Start button --> RUN --> type in:

msinfo32

--> Click OK.

That gives you some.

AFAIK, you need a third-party program to get much useful information.

Aida32 Enterprise is free but a bit outdated:

It's been replaced by Everest, which is free in the Home edition but
leaves out some of the information you could get from Aida:

Hello,

You can also use CPU-Z which is small and requires no installation.

1) Start > Run > MSinfo32.exe.

or

4) Right-click My Computer > Manage > Device Manager.

can use these utilities to help determine the identities of your
computers components:
