How To View The Details Of The Network Adapter In Windows 10

If You Are A Network Administrator Or A Professional User, You Probably Have Several Network Cards On Your Computer.

In such a situation, if you want to see the details of the network adapter in all the network cards that you have installed, you will probably face a difficult task in appearance, but in fact, it will not be a problem.

You can view the network adapter details in Windows 10 through the system or the Nirsoft application tool called Network Interfaces View.

In this article, we will introduce you to two ways to view the details of the network adapter in Windows 10: one through the system itself and the second using the Nirsoft application tool called NetworkInterfacesView, which gives you a lot of information.

Use the System Information tool.

One of the easiest ways to view network adapter information in Windows 10 is to use the System Information tool, which gives you the details of each network interface individually. Follow the steps below to access the System Information tool:

Step 1: Open the Start menu and type msinfo32 or system information. Then select system information from the list of results to open this tool. Note that you may need some time to receive and display accurate information.

Step 2, go to Components -> Network -> Adapter. From the window on the right, you can scroll to the bottom of the page to see a list of your network adapters.

To copy any line of information, select the desired line and press Ctrl + C on the keyboard to add the information to the keyboard. To get the total output of network adapter information, you can go to File -> Export.

You can also access the same information using the command line. Still, you should note that receiving information this way is less than the information provided by the System Information tool. To get the network interface information via the command line, open the Start menu, type cmd, and select Command Prompt from the results list. After the command line window opens, enter the command Ipconfig / all.

This command will display the details of the network connections (whether enabled or disabled).

Use the NetworkInterfacesView tool.

NetworkInterfacesView is a small, compact tool from Nirsoft that uses the Windows Registry to obtain active and inactive network adapters. This tool also displays information about network adapters that you previously connected to your computer. Three device modes are available in this tool:

Active devices will be indicated with a green status icon.

Appliances that are not currently in use will be marked with a yellow status icon.

Disconnected devices will display with a red status icon.

The NetworkInterfacesView tool provides only brief information of all network adapters by default. Suppose you want to get more details about a particular adapter, just double-click on its name. It will open a new window with more detailed information about the device.

Another advantage of this software over the internal system information tool is that it allows you to store and maintain information about each network adapter separately.

To save the details of each device, first, select it and then choose the Save item chosen from the File menu. Select the HTML Report – All items option to save details about all listed items.
