They want someone remote to run a command to gather this hardware info, as the user they’re assisting is not very computer-savvy. The follow-up suggests that using "msinfo32.exe" successfully provides the needed hardware details.

Hello,

Is there a simple way in Windows to find the chipset used on a USB wifi dongle - preferably something that can be run on any Windows since XP?

I need someone remote to run a command and tell me what hardware he has on his computer; As he is barely computer-literate, I need the simplest solution.

I tried Speccy, but it doesn't provide enough information (and requires installing an application.)

Thank you.
