Find Your Computer's Specifications & Add Them to a Support Ticket
Issue
You need to determine your computer's system specifications and, if needed, add them to a support ticket.
Solution
Step 1: Find Your Computer's Specifications
1A. Open your Start menu and type DXDIAG in the search box.
Click the dxdiag.exe option in the menu.
1B. When asked Do you want to check if your drivers are digitally signed?, click Yes.
1C. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool will open. Click Next Page three times to progress through each of the tabs (System, Display, Sound, and Input).
1D. Once the tool reaches the Input tab, click Save All Information.
1E. You'll now save your system specifications as a .txt file. Save the file to your desktop, or another location where you can find it easily. This file will be named DxDiag.txt and will contain your computer specifications.
Step 2: Add Your Computer Specifications to An Existing Technical Support Ticket
2A. Go to your desktop (or the location where you saved your specifications in Step 5 above), and right-click the file DxDiag.txt.
2B. The menu pictured to the left will open. Select Compress to ....
Then select ZIP File from the submenu that opens.
2C. The previous step will have created a zip folder named DxDiag.zip, pictured to the right, on your desktop or the same location where the original DxDiag.txt file was saved.
Add this zip folder to your existing technical support ticket.
