Michael, Never tried this one. In the past, some folks have suggested Belarc advisor. I ran this on a Win 7 machine but can't comment on how/if it works on Win 8.1 as I only have that on a Dell Pro tablet and am less than impressed with it. Much prefer Win 7. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that suggestion in the hopper.

However, when you install the program onto a computer, it will also install Google Chrome and the Google Tool Bar as well without warning. There is an option to run the program as a portable application from a USB flash drive, but I have never used the thing in this manner. You can just do an internet search for the utility and select the result from Piriform, the manufacturer of the product. That's the only one that I personally know about.

My grandson is a gamer. He wants to purchase a few games and is not sure of his computer’s configuration. I know it is about 3 years old and an HP tower. I imagine that there would be slots for a new video card. It must be 15 years since I had my hands inside a computer. I do not know what video cards are out there now. --- Please visit my web page It’s motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990R For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
