About the Microsoft System Information Report:

The Microsoft System Information Report (MSINFO32) displays an extensive summary of your system hardware, installed software, and device drivers.

It does not share personal information such as passwords, image files, browsing history, or other sensitive information.

It does list which applications are installed on your PC, the name of your PC, and other basic system specs.
