Testsoftware for Hardware?

Hello,
for space reasons, I would like to control my machine using a laptop and a Mesa 7I96 card. Is there perhaps a test program that can identify the laptop/PC's system components? Something like the Windows Device Manager, where you could disable unnecessary devices. You don't need a sound card, battery management, Bluetooth, etc., to control the machine.
Thanks
Hans

Be aware that the same model laptops might not work due to variety of included hardware.

Hello,
I’d like to try LCNC again on a different PC. Is there perhaps a mini live ISO with a real-time kernel—available on a USB stick or DVD—that contains only the latency test? That way, I could test the PCs beforehand rather than wiping everything, installing LCNC, and then finding out it doesn't work. Thanks,
Hans

Yes, the installer is also a live system so run it up, select live and run your tests  It won't save any settings between sessions so I just  usually install Linux and test on the PC itself.

You can do all that with the official ISO.
