Information is processed data (data that has been and is constantly changing even until now ie. all the stuff in the internet, books, newspapers etc) while knowledge is more like information that is deemed to be useful (something that will help you with something at one point in your life)
Without information you can't get knowledge. In other words, knowledge can't exist without information.
Think of knowledge as something that will be kept in your brain which you use in everyday life/conversations ie. English phrases like "My name is ---" "My birthday is at ---".
Information can be thought as the residue of the knowledge in your brain. In other words, the stuff that you learnt which is barely or never used in your life ( the information is there but you only used when you need it).
In some cases "information" can be thought of as the "short memory" and "knowledge" as the "long term".
