. . . Saving System Information

Laplink saves all Windows system information from the remote computer, and exports it to your computer. For this reason, you’ll see a popup message, seen below.

Laplink Gold lets you know the report you are about to create may take a few min- utes.

Next, it asks you where to save the file.
