HardwareUpgradeURL specifies the URL to pass the computer's component subscores on the query string. A component’s subscore is a metric generated by Windows® System Assessment Tool (Windows SAT) and is used to derive the Windows Experience Index base score. This subscore is an indication of the performance of the individual component. For example, a video card rated with a gaming and graphics subscore of 5.8 is better at rendering 3D visuals than a video card with a score of 1.1.
The subscore categories are:
