That’s one way to summarize my hardware. If you want to drill down to
every single item available:

Below is ~10% of the AIDA64 Extreme hardware report:

The one line they share is '---'

 
Oh. Yeah.. they would use a different format.
 

To really compare HWiNFO (or AIDA64) to Linux sysinfo data would require
a Linux person to extract the contents of the hwinfo command, ls*
commands, and /dev and /sys virtual files into a well-formatted text
file (no half-ass GuhNoo effort accepted).  Then I'd have to spend a lot
of time massaging both files to get them to a place where a decent
comparison could be made.

 
 
You could also go through each line of HWinfo and try to find that data
in sysinfo.

The Windows 'systeminfo' command output is very brief.
