   sysinfo.bat   
   Outputs desired system information to console & to a timestamped log file.   
      
   This sysinfo.bat file outputs on my system everything I can think of   
   that doesn't require elevation. What's missing that you would want?   
      
    @echo off   
    REM Purpose: Outputs system information   
    REM sysinfo.bat (version 1.0 20250922) output system information   
    REM sysinfo.bat (version 1.1 20250923) added msinfo32 wrapper   
    REM sysinfo.bat (version 1.2 20250924) added hotfixes & installed programs,   
    REM             firewall, winrm, secureboot, driver checks & write test   
    REM sysinfo.bat (version 1.3 20250925) added driverquery, secureboot   
    REM             virtualization checks & directory existence/writability checks   
    REM sysinfo.bat (version 1.4 20250927) commented out WinRM checks   
    REM             as they required elevated permissions. Kept all else.   
    REM Usage: double-click, Win+R, or run from cmd.   
    REM Outputs timestamped log (e.g., C:\data\sys\log\sysinfo20250927_123456.log)
