How To Check Laptop Model in Windows 10 & 11

Wondering what your laptop model number is? Here are a couple of simple and easy-to-follow ways to check the laptop model in Windows 10 & 11.

Every laptop or a pre-built desktop computer has a model number. When I say “Model Number,” I’m not talking about a specific brand like Dell, HP, etc., or a specific line of a brand like Dell’s XPS, Inspiron, Vostro, etc. The model number will be different depending on the laptop configuration and product line.

For example, I’m using an Asus VivoBook laptop. However, there are a lot of configurations in the VivoBook lineup. For example, there are Intel VivoBook laptops, AMD VivoBook laptops, touch-enabled laptops, non-touchscreen laptops, etc. Asus assigns model numbers to each specific configuration in the VivoBook lineup to differentiate between different configurations.

This quick and straightforward guide will show you two methods to check and find the laptop model in Windows 10 and 11 operating systems. Follow the method you like.

You can see the laptop model number or name on a stick underside of the laptop.

Every laptop has one or more stickers under it that contain a lot of information like the branding, compliance information, Windows product key, etc. On the same sticker, you will find the laptop model number. Typically, you will see the model number right next to the “Model” heading, or it will accompany the laptop product line’s name.
