Before talking about AIDA64 - what kind of program it is and what functions it has, it is worth giving generalized information, which we will do now. So, the main thing for which it is used is the collection of information about the computer and its components. In simple words - if you need to know, for example, the version of the operating system, see the installed software on your computer or check the names of hardware, then AIDA64 will help you with this.

Having opened the "Section", on the main screen you will see a list of elements about which you can get information. From here you can find out the computer name, DMI, IPMI, monitor the power supply and view another set of information. But the subsection "Summary Information" deserves special attention. It is here that the most important information regarding the operation of the computer is collected.
