Information about MSInfo32

For the first part of the survey, you will need to run a Windows program called MSInfo32, also known as WinMSD or System Information. This program comes with Windows, so you will not need to install it to complete this survey.

MSInfo32 gives a summary of your computer's system information, such as the devices and device drivers installed. For more information, you can read a more detailed description from the Microsoft website.
