Submitting a Hardware Report (Windows)

This guide will help you collect essential hardware information from your Windows computer and submit it to IT.

Step 1: Download the Script

Important: Do NOT left-click the link. Please follow these instructions:

Right-click this link: Download PowerShell Script
From the menu that appears, select Save link as... or Save target as...
When asked where to save, select your C:\ drive.
The file should be saved as C:\Generate-SystemReport.ps1

Right-click the link and select "Save link as..." or "Save target as..."

Note: You might get a warning about the file being unsafe or uncommon. This is expected.

Click Keep, Allow, or any option your browser gives to continue the download.

Step 2: Open PowerShell

Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
Type powershell.
Click on Windows PowerShell to open it.

(You do not need to run as administrator.)

Step 3: Allow Scripts (One Time Only)

Copy and paste the following command into PowerShell, then press Enter:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

This temporarily lets you run scripts until you close PowerShell.

Step 4: Run the Script

In the PowerShell window, type:

cd C:\

Then start the script by typing:

.\Generate-SystemReport.ps1

Step 5: Follow the Prompts

You will be asked to describe your machine. Make sure you say laptop, tablet, or desktop. (for example: Jane's Laptop or Youth Room Dell).
If there are any known issues, type a short description or leave blank.
The script will collect your system info and submit it automatically to IT.

Notes:

This script does not make any changes to your computer.
If you see a warning, you may safely choose to run the script.
When finished, just close PowerShell.

If you have questions or need help, contact Pastor Lance.
