This is a quick way to get a read on your system's performance, without having to download anything. Open one up and you can find individual scores. Head to the folder %SystemRoot%\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore to find XML files on those components. As Chad Schultz points out on his Microsoft TechNet blog, the WinSAT tool benchmarks more hardware components: CPU, disk, graphics, memory, and so on. You can get a lot more information, though, than that overall score. The lowest-rated component in your system determines your rating in my case, I got a 5.7 (on Win7) thanks to the integrated graphics on the laptop. The higher the score, the more powerful your system is. That number starts from a low of 1 to a high of 5.9 for Vista, 7.9 for Windows 7 and 9.9 for Windows 8. You'll find the Windows Experience Index score under the Control Panel > Performance Information and Tools (or by searching for "experience index"). Beyond that overall score, however, you can access more detailed information for other components of your system using the baked-in WinSAT (Windows System Assessment Tool). Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 all come with a system performance measurement, Windows Experience Index, that tells you how well the computer will run Windows.
