Hello I use Aida64 and HD Sentinel, both of which are excellent at telling me information about my system. I also use Geek Uninstaller and PatchMyPC, the former being excellent at keeping things tidy, the latter used as a guide for keeping programs up to date. Can anyone recommend any key programs they think are pretty good like these?

If you want a quick tool, try using PowerShell. It comes with Windows and is very strong and handy. Also, there are lots of single-line "Get" commands that can show all kinds of info about your computer. These Get things can only read, they cannot change anything. Examples: Get-PNPDevice, Get-Process, Get-Counter, Get-NetAdapter And you can write your own scripts to make changes like filtering, sorting, and showing system data. About RAM: https://mhelp.pro/how-to-find-out-ram-ch...uency-etc/ The PowerShell methods are at the end of that link. You might need to install some extra modules for CIM and WMI

I will send it over, you can handle programs one at a time when you tell me to.

I don't think you need extra utility programs other than the one mentioned before; your system should run most games fine, no matter how high the settings are. Adding more would probably make things worse. If you haven't had an anti-virus yet, you might want to add that now.

Windows Defender comes built in and works well enough for most people. You don't have to add extra programs to make it work.

If you want something powerful, try using PowerShell. It comes with Windows and is really useful. Also, there are a lot of simple commands called Get that can tell you lots of stuff about your computer. Getting data just means reading it; so examples include getting network cards or running processes. You can write your own scripts to organize this info however you like. For memory: check out the link at mhelp.pro/how-to-find-out-ram-characteristics-capacity-type-frequency-etc/ to see how PowerShell methods work there. Maybe you'll need to install a special module for checking RAM details and other things like WMI.

You probably know that this tool just checks if you have a specific version or not. It will only start downloading or setting things up when you run certain commands, right?
