Wondering what Windows laptop model and specs you have? Whether you are selling your laptop, want to get it repaired, or know if it can handle an application, you must find what Windows laptop’s model number and specs you have. In this article, we will help you find your Windows computer’s model number and important specs such as the processor, RAM, screen size, storage, graphic cards, and other needed details.
How to Find Windows Laptop Model and Number
Before finding the model number and specs of your Windows computer, you need to understand the difference between model name and model number. The model name is simply the product’s name. For example, Dell XPS 15, Samsung Galaxy Book 3, Microsoft Surface, etc. People commonly use model’s name to refer to the laptop.
These companies also assign a model number to every model they release. In some cases, each Windows laptop model is assigned one model number. But in some cases, model number changes based on specifications like chipset, RAM, storage, release year, etc. For example, Dell XPS 15 has 12 models as of now depending on the year it was released. Think of the model number being more specific than the model name.
There are different ways to find the model name and number of your Windows laptop. Let’s start with the simple methods.
1. First, you can find the model name and number on the sticker on the back of your Windows laptop. Most laptops will have the model name unless it is peeled off or the print faded. The model number will be usually beside the model name or model tag anywhere on the sticker. However, a few laptops only include the model name, and omit the model number.
2. In case, you still have your laptop box, you should be able to find both the model name and model number of the Windows PC on the box. Look at all 6 sides as each box is different.
3. Also, in case you have purchased the laptop from an online e-commerce platform, open the shopping history to find both the model name and model number in the product description.
The above methods should work for most and will be helpful to find the model name and the number of the Windows computer. But if you can’t, here’s how you can find both the model name and model number from Windows 11 and 10 OS itself.

2. Here select the System option in the left sidebar.

Find Model Name and Number in System Information App
While Settings app is good enough to find what Windows model and specs you have, it falls short. But there is another hidden app in Windows that will display even more details.
