You may want to try Versiera as setup would only be a few minutes. Create an account, download and install the agents. It is simple and would collect all the info you require, though may be overkill as a lot of info is collected. If you're concerned about security, remove the agents after you gather all the info you need. You can then export the data to a spreadsheet. I should also disclose that we develop Versiera and it is not open source, though free to use.
