"Unable to run diagnostic scans The new Dell PC Checkup Online is designed for Dell Inspiron™, Dimension™, XPS™ and Vostro™ systems. This system is not supported. If you believe you have received this message in error, please use the button below to report the issue to Dell."

You're not missing anything.  It's a very basic diagnostic geared toward new computer users, and isn't particularly informative anyway.

 

For hardware, the Dell Diagnostics are much better - they run outside of Windows and are much more thorough.

 

For everything else, it's stuff like "Turn your Windows Firewall on".  It told me that regardless of the fact that I have both another software firewall and an NAT router.   Doesn't take much to take care of stuff like that on your own :) .
