Hi, in an older machine (i7-6700) after upgrading from win 8.1 to win 10 pro the PSU is not displayed in sysinfo.
So under 'components' everything is there, except 'power'. I need to check the PSU specs like this, because i opened the case and the psu was fit in a stupid way, with the specs facing inside, so to read that i need to completely remove it, which i obviously wouldn't like to.
Google didn't help also. Any ideas please to see 'power' in sysinfo?

I have never heard of a "sysinfo" command in Windows.
I know the "msinfo32", Hwinfo and a few more.
I'm wondering how could the operating system be able to read out what
Wattage the PSU has?
I asked very politely that you explain this to us.
If you can't explain it, as it seems, then you have a problem.
If I'm completly off track in my knowledge of this command,
I would appreciate your advice and would then be sorry that I'm so "stupid".
So far noone has chimed in.
Have a nice day

Just type sysinfo into the box down on the bottom left of the screen and press enter and the page will come up.
BUT I too have never seen any MS software 'see' the psu, I DO remember seeing it a LONG time ago but have no clue what the software was.
When I build a pc that the psu wattage is blocked like the user says, it's pretty common depending on the case, I always write the wattage number on the side facing out so it's easy to know what size it is.
the best you'd be able to see

the best you'd be able to see regarding PSU specs is the voltages of the various rails. that can be seen pretty easily by most monitoring software like hwinfo, but it's getting the information from the motherboard readings and not really from the PSU directly.
the only way you'd get direct information from the PSU is if your PSU has a data cable running from the PSU to an internal connector like an internal USB port. there are a few PSUs that do this, but most do not. in the instances where you have a PSU that has a data cable to the PC, you need to use their specific software as well.

I think removing it and looking at the info on the PSU is the only reliable way in this situation. It shouldn't be that hard to remove?
