Regardless of what choices you make for diagnostic data collection, the device will be just as secure and will operate normally. This data is collected by Microsoft to quickly identify and address issues affecting its customers.
Diagnostic data is categorized into the following:
- **Required diagnostic data**
Required diagnostic data includes information about your device, its settings, capabilities, and whether it is performing properly, whether a device is ready for an update, and whether there are factors that may impede the ability to receive updates, such as low battery, limited disk space, or connectivity through a paid network. You can find out what is collected with required diagnostic data [here](./required-windows-diagnostic-data-events-and-fields-2004.md). - **Optional diagnostic data**
Optional diagnostic data includes more detailed information about your device and its settings, capabilities, and device health. When you choose to send optional diagnostic data, required diagnostic data will always be included. You can find out the types of optional diagnostic data collected [here](./optional-diagnostic-data.md).
