Your computer’s model name or number provides information about its software and hardware configurations. Knowing your PC model information makes it easy to find compatible software (e.g., drivers) and accessories (e.g., chargers).
You may also need to provide your computer model number when seeking technical support or troubleshooting issues. We’ll show you how to find your computer model in Windows and using third-party tools.

This is perhaps the easiest way to check the model of a Windows computer. In Windows 10 and 11, go to roghainnean > System > Mu dheidhinn and check your PC’s name for its model information.
A faster way to access the system information page is to right-click the Start putan agus tagh System.
Check the Product Label or Packaging
You’ll find your computer’s model on its packaging. For laptops, lookout for a product label on the base or bottom cover of the device. Close the lid, turn your laptop upside down, and check if you find a label.
Laptops with removable batteries sometimes have their product label in the battery compartment. Product labels are sometimes glued on laptops’ palm rest (right below the keyboard) or screen bezels.
Check the side, back, or top of the tower case on desktops and all-in-one computers for product labels.
Can’t find your PC’s packaging or product label? Check the user manual instead. Some computer retailers print product information on the bill of sale documents or receipt. So, make sure you check that, too.
