To know your motherboard model, you can use several easy methods mostly through your Windows operating system:

  • The simplest way is to use the built-in System Information tool. Press the Windows key + R, type "msinfo32" and hit Enter. Look for "BaseBoard Manufacturer," "BaseBoard Product," and "BaseBoard Version" about halfway down the System Summary page. These entries show the motherboard brand and model.

  • Alternatively, open Command Prompt or PowerShell and type the command:

    wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version
    

This will return the motherboard manufacturer, model, and version.

  • You can also use third-party software like CPU-Z, which is free and gives detailed motherboard information under its "Mainboard" tab.
  • Another physical method is to open your computer case and look directly on the motherboard for a printed model number.
  • You can also check your PC or motherboard's original packaging or purchase receipt for the model information.
  • Lastly, entering the BIOS setup during boot (usually by pressing DEL or F2) can show motherboard model details in the BIOS interface.

These methods are commonly used and effective for identifying your motherboard model without needing extra tools or complicated steps.
