Get System Information by Simple CMD Command: Systeminfo !!


Desktop PC with LCD Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and Speaker


There are many ways to view your system information. But each of these ways has some advantages and disadvantages. You can't get information about all issues from a system. As a result you should know different ways to view your PC information. In this site two posts have already been published about viewing system information. 

  1. DirectX Diagnostic Tool: Press Start + R > Type dxdiag > Press Enter > Get Details of your system. 
  2. Speccy: A third party tool to view system information. It shows both hardware and software information. Also great for measuring the system temperature. 

Another popular way to get the system information is System Properties. You can get this by clicking right to the My Computer Icon and then choose Properties. Keyboard shortcut to view System Properties is Start + Pause. But it shows only minimum information. Just Processor, RAM and System type (32 or 64 bit). 



If you would like to get details about your system you must use either Dxdiag or Speccy. But today I'm gonna share something else with you! Yes, you can do it by a simple command. Let's start- 

  1. Press Start + R to open Run.
  2. Type cmd to run Command Prompt.
  3. Type systeminfo hit enter and wait for 2/3 seconds
  4. Now you get the details!

Systeminfo will show the following information:

  • OS Name, Version, Manufacturer, Configuration and Build Type
  • Name of the Registered Owner and Organization
  • Product ID
  • Windows Installation Date
  • System Boot Time
  • System Manufacturer, System Model and System Type
