| comp., MS | hardware abstraction layer | nivel de abstractizare hardware (A thin layer of software provided by the hardware manufacturer that hides, or abstracts, hardware differences from higher layers of the operating system. By means of the filter provided by the HAL, different types of hardware look alike to the rest of the operating system. This enables the operating system to be portable from one hardware platform to another. The HAL also provides routines that enable a single device driver to support the same device on all platforms) |
| comp., MS | Hardware and Devices troubleshooter | depanator probleme de hardware și de dispozitive (A troubleshooter that helps find and fix problems about hardware and devices) |
| comp., MS | hardware branch | ramificație hardware (The hardware archive root key in the registry that is a superset of the memory-resident hardware tree. Although the hardware tree contains information only about those devices currently detected and running in the system, the registry contains a complete list of all hardware ever installed on the particular computer. The hardware root key is \\HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\Hardware) |
| comp., MS | Hardware Compatibility List | Listă de compatibilități hardware (A registry of products that have been tested by Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). These products passed Windows compatibility testing) |
| comp., MS | Hardware Compatibility Test kit | Set teste de compatibilitate hardware (A collection of tests that verify hardware and device driver operations under a specific operating situation on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
