How to Find the Laptop Model on a Windows PC
There are several ways to find your laptop model. Any method that gets you to your laptop model number and its configuration will help you ask for the right kind of support or get updated drivers and software. Brands print the laptop model numbers on the carton, etch them on the body, or mention it in any manual that comes with the computer. But if you can’t find them there, there are other ways too. Let’s look at two of the simplest and quickest ways to locate the laptop model on your Windows computer. You can use the Command windows and PowerShell too, but they take slightly more effort than the two simple methods described below.
Use System Information to See the Laptop Model
System Information on a Windows PC will include information like the manufacturer’s name, custom system name, system model, and system type.
Use Settings to Find Device Specifications
Microsoft also lists device specifications for your laptop on the About screen under Settings. Follow these steps to get to that screen in as few clicks as possible. Other information included under the laptop mode consists of the customizable device name, the processor type, the installed RAM, the device ID, the product ID, the system type, and Pen and Touch compatibility.
