    Here' one way of doing that:

    Get-Contents <Your-File-Name-Here> |
        ForEach-Object{
            $x = @{
                "Comp hostname" = ""
                "OS info" = ""
                "Uptime" = ""
                "Last Reboot Details" = ""
                "Manufacturer" = ""
                "Model" = ""
                "Number of CPU Cores" = ""
                "Memory/RAM (in GB)" = ""
                "C Disk Capacity and Usage %" = ""
            }
            Switch -regex ($_){
                "^Comp hostname" {$s -match "^(Comp hostname)\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; break}
                "^OS info"       {$s -match "^(OS info)\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; break}
                "^Uptime"        {$s -match "^(Uptime)\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; break}
                "^Last Reboot Details" {$s -match "^(Uptime)\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; break}
                "^Manufacturer"  {$s -match "^(Manufacturer)\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; break}
                "^Model"         {$s -match "^(Model)\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; break}
                "^Number of CPU Cores" {$s -match "^(Number of CPU Cores)\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; break}
                "^Memory/RAM \(in GB\)" {$s -match "^(Memory/RAM \(in GB\))\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; break}
                "^C Disk Capacity and Usage %" {$s -match "^(C Disk Capacity and Usage %)\s+(.*)$"|Out-Null; $x[$matches[1]]=$matches[2]; 
                                                    [PSCustomObject]$x                  
                                                    break}
            }
        } | Export-Csv <CSV-file-name-here> -NoTypeInformation
