It's lightweight and displays maybe not as good as AIDA but every basic thing you need to know about your specs.

Works great on Win11. I've been using it to check my RAM specs to help me procuring new chips for an upgrade
Installed fine on Win 10. Gives some real eye-opening results.
When trying to start speccy on win 8 with the firewall turned on it freezes everything to a crawl or a complete halt, the keyboard not working even after ctrl+alt+delete, only the mouse moving. The only way to unstuck it is through the power off button. What an awful piece of software!
Without install, easy to read, so neat !
A lot has happened in the past 9 years; since last comment/review in this "Speccy" outline.
Piriform was acquired by Avast in July 2017 https://press.avast.com/avast-acquires-piriform-maker-of-ccleaner
Read the press release with a substantial grain of salt
Speccy is a very basic system reader.
Free version comes in 2 varieties ...
Portable by PortableApps. com . . . . "specPortable"
Installer by CCleaner (alias. Piriform/Avast) . . . . "Speccy"
Before Avast acquired "Piriform", PortableApps.com released (portable) "Speccy" as did Piriform under the same (installer) name, "Speccy".
Avast's reputation IMO leaves a lot to be desired, if you have ever tried to uninstall "Avast AV"
... good luck ... they are reluctant to let you go.
For years I used original "Piriform" ... CCleaner + Speccy.
But now I use other more thorough programs/developers. Have you got your 3rd eye open ?
Cloud based services by Avast/Piriform ?
I am not prepared to allow Avast access to my machines under any circmstances.
