It basically collects information about errors in your laptop whenever one occurs, sends a report to Microsoft, and tries to find a solution (usually, an article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, a repository of known data for Microsoft). You can turn it off if you have concerns about the information sent.
The article is for Vista but the information is pretty much the same:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/reporting-and-solving-computer-problems

And a more tech-dense version: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709644(v=ws.10).aspx
