To use it do the following steps
- Run a command prompt as an administrator. [Start > All programs > Accessories. Right Click CMD Icon > Click Run as Administrator]
- Type in the following code:

Where \Folder represents the folder where you want the report to be placed.
So here I am choosing Windows Folder. So I will type the following code:
powercfg -energy -output \Windows\Energy_Report.html

For about a minute, Windows 7 will examine the behavior of your laptop. It will then analyze it and create a report in HTML format in the folder you specified. Double-click the file, and you'll get a report -- follow its recommendations for ways to improve power performance.
