Getting a general report on your computer's hardware isn't exactly difficult. The msinfo32 tool is still around and easy to access. But there are times when you're looking for something deeper, something hidden. Processor registers, SPD values, memory spaces, and the internal codes of your storage units aren't requested very often, but HE - Hardware Read & Write Utility will present them without any trouble.
A Brief History of Low-Level Access
Let me start with a brief story. When I first installed a Pentium II in my system, I quickly learned the potential of registers and other hidden values on that platform. That same magic extended to AMD's K6-2 processors and the generic motherboards that flooded the market at the time. Something as simple as modifying a hex value could unlock an extra 10% performance—or freeze everything. It was an era of scarcity, where we had to extract every last drop from our modest hardware.
Today, we basically have automatic overclocking and Turbo modes everywhere, but those strange low-level parameters haven't disappeared. In fact, we can still do interesting things with them, like extracting the Windows key from a BIOS or modifying the thermal profile on some laptops. RWEverything is the go-to software for those tasks; however, if you're more interested in diagnosis and data retrieval, you might be more comfortable with HE - Hardware Read & Write Utility.
Exploring the Interface
The program's interface is split into two parts. On the left, a complete list of each defined category; in the main section, all the advanced data. One of the most interesting elements is the USB connections report, since Windows usually doesn't provide very detailed information, but HE - Hardware Read & Write Utility even detects internal links (for example, the Bluetooth adapter on my controller occupies the equivalent of "port 7").
The category dedicated to the operating system (with a small error in its description, "Operation System"), offers high-level data that's more familiar to most, from the list of installed software and processes that start with the computer, to the list of drivers and system events. From a certain point of view, HE - Hardware Read & Write Utility has the ability to replace several programs at the same time.
Download and Final Thoughts
The software is relatively young (its latest build appeared last week), is available with a traditional installer and a portable edition, which I recommend. The executable reports a false positive on VirusTotal (Trapmine, a module known for its conflictivity), but we haven't detected anything strange on our end. Download a copy and give it a try.
