i need another way to do a hardware test
before i used to use dell support assistant to test my hardware components. after the windows store messed around with support so i had to uninstall it. i need another way to test my hardware components. i know that i can do a diagnostic test in bios. i need the test to run in windows. this is what i found out until now:-
1) using Home - UserBenchmark - it analyzes my laptop performance and it compares it to other laptops but before it does that then it has to do a full hardware checkup and test processor, memory, graphics card and so on. if something is failing then will indicate that it is failing when it shows me the results?
2) by installing hwinfo - i tested it in the past. all it does is show graphs and things like that. can i do a full hardware test by using hwinfo and it tells me pass or fail?
3) by running perfmon /report in the start menu - that tests my hardware components and it tells me pass or fail but can i rely on it? the test is finished in one minute but when i used support assistant to tests my hardware components it took 15 minutes. why is it longer?
also is there another reliable program which i can use that tests my hardware components and it tells me pass or fail?
