System Information (msinfo32.exe
) is a
system profiler included with
Microsoft Windows that displays diagnostic and troubleshooting information related to the
operating system,
hardware and
software.
[1]
[2] It has been bundled with Windows since
Windows NT 4.0.
It compiles technical information on the overall system, hardware resources (including memory, I/O, etc.), physical hardware components (CD-ROM, sound, network, etc.), and the Windows environment as well (drivers, environment variables, services, etc.). It can export this information in the plain text format or in files with a .nfo extension, which can be used to diagnose problems. In addition, System Information can be used to gather technical information on a remote computer on the same network.
