I don't know if it has been posted before, however this is a very nice utility for bringing up back the windows 7 gadgets into windows 8, with all the features of windows 7 plus some more...

What I like most is that the sidebar can be summoned just by sliding the mouse over the left edge and still it doesn't feel intrusive. Finally, a way to recover my beloved "Calculatorium" gadget as well as the GPU monitors.

The Web page: http://8gadgetpack.bplaced.net/ Highly recommended.

I'm using AIDE64 and wondering if it will work with this.

It's worth of a try, I have been testing different gadgets and it can pool the information correctly... so my guess is Yes.

What GPU Monitor you using? I rather use those instead of AIDE64.

That one, works for both AMD and Nvidia cards.

Thanks!

You know how to make the font bigger for the Clock Speeds?

I honestly don't know other options than the ones that are already in the gadget... sorry about that, but I'm glad you liked it, this little program really does wonders.

This person's gadgets are pretty well done. I use the Core Series, GPU and network traffic gadgets from this person on my main PC. Should this main PC get reimaged, I'll have to check this tool out so I can continue using them.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Book, within a VM.

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
