But if you are planning to install Windows or Linux onto an old PC or NoteBook, you can identify the hardware in a lot more detail bootable to an ISO such as the Hardware Detection Tool ISO file.

This can be booted from E2B\agFM\Ventoy as a legacy-bootable ISO.

The legacy UBCD v5.3.9 ISO also contains some old but useful tools which can be run from an E2B/agFM/Ventoy USB drive:

HWINFO is a useful Windows tool which you can find already included in many WinPE ISOs such as Strelec WinPE, however there is a DOS version in the form of a FreeDOS floppy image file that you can run on systems which may not be able to run a large WinPE OS - you can download my version here.

You can also download the free DOS-based ASTRA ISO which is regularly updated (current version is 6.91 Nov-26-2021)..
