Subj : Windows benchmarking

Good evening,
Are there any tips or tricks one would suggest when looking over a Windows
machine when the owner (not you) thinks it is "running slow"?

I have recently been asked by a friend/co-worker if I would not mind looking
at their machine sometime in the near future.  I would like to but, while I
don't have to come across as a know-it-all, I would like to not look stupid.
I used to be pretty confident about stuff like this but, after using linux
for so long, I have really lost touch with what can go wrong with Windows.

Is there anything that comes with Windows 7 and up that is anything like,
say, 'hardinfo', or that would perform similar performance tests?  I would
rather not download something that might cause more harm (adware, etc.) than
good if I can help it.  :)

Mike
