How To Check Or Find Out Motherboard Model

While computer hardware such as your RAM and graphics card are easy to identify in your system summary, things are not always as straightforward when it comes to your motherboard.

Depending on your motherboard and operating system, there are a few more steps involved. But luckily it’s still easy enough for novices to learn. Here’s how to quickly and easily answer the question: “What motherboard do I have?”

How to Check Your Motherboard With Command Prompt

You can easily check your motherboard model and serial number using Windows Command Prompt. On Windows, select the search field in your task bar, type cmd and press Enter.

Another method to open Command Prompt is to use the Run shortcut Windows + R and type cmd into the popup window.

You will not need to run Command Prompt as an administrator. Once your command window is open, you can prompt Windows Management Interface Command (WMIC) to check the manufacturer, model, name, and other features of your motherboard.

But if you do have a compatible motherboard, this is the easiest way to check your motherboard model and brand on Windows.

First, start up Windows’ Run function using Windows + R. When the Run window opens, type in msinfo32 and press Enter.

This will open the Windows System Information overview.

Your motherboard information should be specified next to Baseboard Manufacturer, Base Board Product, and Base Board Version. If the fields say that the information is not available, you should rather use one of the other motherboard checking methods in this article.
