MORE INFORMATIONThe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum key contains subkeys for the specific hardware components your computer uses. Windows uses this information to allocate resources (for example, IO addresses and interrupts for the devices). All values in the Enum subkey are manufacturer-specific and device-specific, so specific information can vary from computer to computer. Entries in the Enum SubkeyBIOSThis subkey contains entries for Plug and Play components of the BIOS (this includes timers, controllers, and direct memory access [DMA] chips).
