System Information with DOS - dos

I have just brought new laptop with DOS OS.
I am trying for system information to check my new laptop details, but unable to check.
I have used commands 'sys', 'HWiNFO'.
Can anyone tell me how can I check my all system information.
Thanks.

You could try command: systeminfo

Could not initialize SDL(No available video device), qemu-system, Windows Subsystem for Linux

I'm learning how to write a basic OS kernel with intermezzos.github.io
I'm running in Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 v1607.
I'm at the point where I want to run my .iso with qemu-systems-x86_64 -cdrom os.iso.
Previously I was able to run the command and QEMU would run a window, which was running into another problem, posted here: QEMU, No bootable device, Windows Subsystem for Linux
Now when running the command, I receive the following error: Could not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting
When I ran into this problem before I installed Xming, ran it, and then QEMU successfully ran. But now, when I try to run Xming it no longer solves the problem.
I even tried installing xorg and running startx on WSL but that starts another issue: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)
I really don't know what I'm doing and I have so many questions.
I'm under the impression that for QEMU to successfully run, it needs to be able to find a video driver. Is that the purpose of X11?
I am able to get qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom os.iso to run the expected window after setting: export DISPLAY=:0
Partially solves my problem because I'm still running into QEMU, No bootable device, Windows Subsystem for Linux
I'm wondering if I'm setting the DISPLAY environment variable correctly.
Here's documentation on the DISPLAY variable, for anyone else that wants to learn: http://gerardnico.com/wiki/linux/display
Anyway, this portion is solved!

Problems Getting Battery Stats from Command line

I am having Problems Getting Battery Stats from Command line. So the command that I have been running in PowerShell(yes as Admin) is powercfg -energy and the error generated is
The Power Efficiency Diagnostic library (energy.dll) could not be loaded
So then I was told that I should make sure the file was correct version with sfc /scannow and generates the error
Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service
So then I check Windows Modules Installer service with service.msc and it is set to Manual
Any Insight is appreciated, Thanks
The problem was that i was running it in powershell. It works fine if I run it in command prompt. Thanks for the help

Have tried all traditional troubleshooting: "Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script..."

I've done all the traditional fixes in every major threads related to this problem and I still get this error. I'm trying to run a .vbs to install a webdisk onto my computer. (Please note that I'm not a programmer so I'm hoping to receive help in Layman's terms.)
I've gone into registry and fixed the HKEY to list the .dll.
I've deleted all cleaners and adblockers and anti-virus programs.
I've created a new .reg that merged threads.
Please help. I'm going crazy up here at the lake.
Cheers.
Please follow the following steps:
Open command prompt as Administrator using Run As Administrator
Now type sfc /scannow and press enter.
Check the message that you get and take the corresponding action as mentioned here.
You can also try doing the following:
Run regsvr32 vbscript.dll and regsvr32 jscript.dll in command prompt as administrator.
Also run the Windows Cleanup Utility as Administrator.
This should fix your issue.

Node.js - tutorials on getting it to work with Cygwin on a Vista machine

All,
Am trying to get Node.js to work on Vista machine.
I installed Cygwin (as per the Github instructions) which appears to have been installed correctly. However, none of the commands are executing.
Are there any tutorials for the stages after the Cygwin installation?
PROBLEM: When any command is executed, I get 'Bash: command not found' error.
Not even command like 'c:\cygwin\bin' is executing.
When I type 'user' in cygwin command prompt, I get 'ntvdm has encountered an system error. Parameter incorrect'.
I thought the above error may be due to the firewall, disabling the firewall did not have any effect, running the program with admin rights also did not change the results...
Am confused and would love to get some guidance on what steps to go with next on getting Node.js up and running on a Windows Vista machine.
Many thanks,
UPDATE1:
We managed to make a bit more progress. It appears that we had not installed all the relevant files related to Cygwin. Upon re-download and reinstalled, it ran well, however, we have driven into another error. Error we get:
How to compile/install node.js(could not configure a cxx compiler!) (Ubuntu).
We followed the instructions as per the above thread (3rd post from top for Windows machines), however, we are still stuck at the same error.
Any guidance please?
Have you tried just using the Windows self contained binaries? http://node-js.prcn.co.cc/ This way you actually don't need to bother with Cygwin.
At first, i tried it your way too, using Cygwin. After smashing my head for the 10th time against a wall i just stopped trying and found a much cleaner solution.
I'm using VirtualBox running a Debain guest system to locally develop on my Windows 7 machine. Using VirtualBox, you can easily set up shared folders or port forwarding for node apps between your Windows machine and your Debian guest system.
Since you are using a plain Linux-system, all the compiling-pain is blown away.
If you plan to run node.js in production on a windows system: don't. I hardly believe node.js will be ever stable enough on windows-based systems using MINGW/Cygwin...
People seem to run into problems with Cygwin because they think that they are using a Windows machine.
If you install Cygwin, and open a bash shell prompt using the Cygwin icon, you are now in a UNIX environment and everything works the same as it would on UNIX. That includes building node.js.
I think you added some info to the question and I can see your problem. Yes, normally on Cygwin it has been possible to build node.js just as you would on any UNIX system, but that is no longer possible on Windows 7. Before running ./configure you have to:
Close all cygwin apps.
Double-click on C:\Cygwin\bin\ash.exe
Run ./rebaseall and when it completes, run ./perlrebase.
exit from the ash shell window.
At this point Cygwin will be back to normal and you can ./configure and make install.

How to make tasklist.exe run on windows 2000

Can someone please tell me how to make tasklist.exe file run on Windows 2000. I downloaded the file from net & placed under the system32 folder. However when I tried to execute the file it prompted me a message "ERROR:the target system must be running Windows XP or above"
So can someone please tell me how to run this on windows 2000? I badly need this, as I am doing a batch script to find out the foreground processes running in my windows 2000 machine.
Appreciate your help.
I looked but couldn't find a version for Windows 2000. But I did find this article on using an alternative program.
The original tasklist.exe will not work in stock Windows 2000 because it's looking for APIs which don't exist there. You can use a modified version created blackwingcat:

Just download and unpack taskcmds.cab.
