After firing up the program, Speccy takes a few moments to completely analyze the computer from top to bottom.

The tool can be downloaded from Piriform and installed quickly, given its small size. Speccy was designed as a free electronic “what’s inside” sticker for your PC.” As the Speccy website mentions, “Two or three years later, when it comes time to upgrade your computer, that tag or sticker may be long gone. Speccy is their answer and, since it comes from the same guys who brought you CCleaner and Defraggler, you can expect a nice polished interface as well as plenty of pertinent information to view.

The guys at Piriform wish to up the ante with their third-party alternative to Microsoft’s tool, which is supposed to give a much cleaner and easier to understand representation of the system hardware and software.

The System Information tool provided by Microsoft is a fairly nice feature to use in Windows, in the event one needs to find out what is inside a computer in more refined detail. Gather all the system information you need without having to open the box.
