How to Check Motherboard Serial Number and Model

Knowing your computer’s serial number, or the number of the motherboard’s model could be useful for various purposes.

In Windows 10, it’s very easy to find this information, simply by entering a few commands in the Command Prompt.

How to check the motherboard model physically?

The best way to check for your motherboard model is by using the motherboard information software, but that’s not always an option.

If your PC uses less RAM than installed, it’s possible that there’s a hardware issue, so you need to open your computer case and look for the model number that is printer on the board.

Hardware problems might cause your computer to keep freezing and restarting, so checking the motherboard model physically might be the only option sometimes.

How to find what motherboard serial number & model I have?

In some cases, you may only see a blank space, or a To be filled by OEM alert. Usually, this means that you’re trying to install your OEM software on a different machine than the one you initially purchased.

The same alert may indicate that your computer couldn’t recognize the motherboard model number.

In rare cases, this message may appear on the screen because your computer manufacturer didn’t fill in all the necessary hardware information.

As a result, Windows 10 cannot identify all the hardware information required when you run the serial number command in Command Prompt.

If you’re using a Windows 10 Insider build, you also should keep in mind that it is still a technical preview of the operating system, and a lot of features still have to be added.

So if you were unable to find your Serial Number, you can skip out of the Insider Program or wait until Microsoft rolls out a new version of the OS.

You’ll be able to find your serial number then, for sure.
