2. For each hardware/software, user also can see the detail attributes.
3. users can check the health for each hardware/software or selected hardwares and softwares, then generate reports for them manually or automatically.
4. if the report generation is manually, there should be a button when users click it, user can select to generate Textual Report or Visual Graphic Report.
5. it should have a label where users can see the last time of checking PC health.
6. users can see the Microsoft patches that have not been installed in the current PC, and users can make decision to install them or not.

Users can encounter some problems, errors, performance issues, etc. during using their computers, running regular and custom applications, access the client’s company network and related servers. Sometimes, it is quite clear what’s the root cause of the problem (say not enough memory or hard disk is full), but there are many cases when it’s not obvious if the problem in computer’s hardware, or in the installed software, or in the network connection, or event on the server side of the client’s company. Support teams can provide reliable suggestions on problem settlement only if the characteristics and current state (i.e. health) of user computers is known. The client company is especially interested in keeping the user’s computers in very good state and up-to-date for the technologies/applications used within the company.
The main goal of this project is to deliver an efficient, easy to use and low resource consuming solution for manual and automatic monitoring, analysis and processing of the hardware/software characteristic and state (health) of all the client company’s user computers. Parts of this goal will be logging of acquired results, comparing them with predefined benchmark metrics, alerting users on encountered bad results, providing a visual graphic report on computer health, an automatic installation of software updates to user computers.
