Windows 7 and above Compatible System Information Script (Windows 7 - Windows 8 - Windows 10 - Windows 11)

System Information Script for Windows 7 and above

Overview

This Python script is designed to collect and export detailed system information, making it ideal for use in environments like Windows 7 where certain modern functionalities might be limited. The script retrieves processor details, RAM capacity, and storage device information, outputting the data to both a text file and a CSV file for easy review and reporting.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or newer (Tested on Python 3.8 and Python 3.12)
• Subprocess and psutil libraries installed

Features

• Processor Information: Fetches the CPU model using the wmic command.
• RAM Information: Determines the total installed RAM.
• Storage Information: Provides details about each storage device, including the model and capacity in gigabytes.

Installation

To run this script, ensure Python and the required libraries (psutil) are installed on your Windows 7 machine. Install psutil using pip:

pip install psutil

Usage

1. Save the script to your local machine.
2. Open a command prompt.
3. Navigate to the directory containing the script.
4. Run the script by entering:

python systeminfo.py

5. Follow the on-screen prompts to input required information such as the user's email and branch name.

Script Details

Import Statements

import os
import subprocess
import psutil
import csv

These libraries are necessary for system interaction, data processing, and file operations.

Key Functions

get_processor_info

This function uses the wmic cpu get name command to retrieve the processor name from Windows Management Instrumentation (WMIC), making it compatible with older systems like Windows 7.

get_storage_info

Fetches storage device models and sizes, converting sizes from bytes to gigabytes for better readability. It also handles potential errors and ensures the data is presented clearly.

Main Execution Flow

The script starts by printing a welcome message and gathering user inputs. It prepares filenames for output data and initializes files for writing. The data gathering functions (get_processor_info, get_storage_info) are called, and their outputs are appended to both text and CSV files.

Error Handling

The script includes robust error handling, particularly for external command executions and data conversions, ensuring stability across various system configurations.

Output

The script generates two files:

• Text file: Detailed system information in a readable format.
• CSV file: Same information in a tabular format suitable for importing into spreadsheets.
