During the initial startup of SIW, there is a slight pause while your initial system information is returned. SIW breaks information about your system into software, hardware and network. Below is a list of the information returned for each of these areas. (See Pictures for visual details). SIW's identification of hardware on the test systems (HP Laptop, Toshiba Laptop and Generic desktop) performed flawlessly.
