What is System Information?

System Information (also known as msinfo32.exe) shows details about your PC, operating system, hardware, and software, including drivers.

System Information lists the following categories:

  • System Summary. Displays general info about your PC and the operating system, such as the PC name and manufacturer, the firmware it uses at startup (BIOS or UEFI), and the amount of memory that's installed.

  • Hardware Resources. Displays advanced details about your PC's hardware—intended for IT professionals.

  • Components. Displays info about drives, sound devices, modems, and other hardware installed on your PC.

  • Software Environment. Displays info about drivers, network connections, and contains other program-related details.

To search for a specific detail in System Information, enter the info you're looking for in the Find what box. For example, to search for your PC's Internet protocol (IP) address, enter IP address in the Find what box, and then tap or click Find.
