System Information

msinfo32

A graphical utility that compiles a comprehensive snapshot of a system's hardware, drivers, and software configuration into one report.

// EXAMPLE

Exporting an msinfo32 report before a hardware change, to have a "known good" baseline to compare against if something breaks afterward.

// GOTCHA

msinfo32 can take a noticeably long time to fully populate on a system with a lot of installed software or drivers — the window looks unresponsive while it's still gathering data, not actually frozen.
