About System Information

System Information collects your system configuration information and provides a menu for displaying the associated system topics. Support technicians require specific information about your computer when they are troubleshooting your configuration. You can use System Information to quickly find the data they need to resolve your system problem.

System Information displays a comprehensive view of your hardware, system components, and software environment. The information is organized into three categories: Resources, Components, and Software Environment.

Depending on the individual topic, you may be presented with a choice of basic, advanced, or historical system data.
