Thanks to the tabs based user interface and the various categories available, all the information are easy and fast to read, and if reading is not enough: you can export all the information in a common plain text file (TXT) or Rich Text file (RTF) to be viewed anywhere and by anyone without being in front of the interested PC; whenever the need arises, receiving technical support or help on a forum or via email is a lot easier with detailed information of your system!
In addition, the Tools tab provides direct access to a wide range of Windows utilities, useful should you need to do a quick maintenance.

GFXplorer can also be easily updated online and is available both in English and Italian.
