The '''Windows System Assessment Tool''' ('''WinSAT''') is a module of [[Microsoft]] [[Windows Vista]] and [[Windows 7]] which measures various performance characteristics and capabilities of the hardware it is running on and reports them as a '''Windows Experience Index (WEI)''' score, a number from 1.0 and 5.9 for [[Windows Vista]] and from 1.0 and 7.9 for [[Windows 7]]. The WEI is due to increase its maximum score with future updates. The WEI includes five subscores: processor, memory, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, and disk; the basescore is equal to the lowest of the subscores.<ref name="Softpedia">{{cite web |title=Windows 7 WEI Scores 6.0 through 7.9 Explained
