Windows hardware and application software details are stored in the registry, which is a hierarchical database that stores configuration settings and options for the operating system and applications installed on the computer. The registry can be accessed and modified using the Registry Editor tool. Information about hardware devices can also be viewed in the Device Manager, while information about running services and applications can be found in the Services and Applications section of the Task Manager. However, the most comprehensive and detailed information is stored in the registry. Information about the computer's BIOS can also be accessed through the registry, but is not directly stored there.
