Through WMI? Like this:

Hm. Directly through the registry, maybe?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\  and then DESCRIPTION\ and sub keys etc.
Easy.

You could try WMI Delphi Code Creator, I've used it in the past to get
system serial numbers/asset details.

WMI will work, as i wrote before, but direct registry access is much
quicker and generates less code.

The site DOES work. Use ABP to skip all the sh*t in between.

Many thanks to all!

I downloaded the WMI Delphi Code Generator from here.

After installation in the settings you can specify generation of code
for FreePascal.
