Even then, it\u2019s best to check to make sure the documentation is correct. Rather than open the case and search for the model number on the board itself, use tools within Windows to check things out instead.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Your_Model_Number_from_the_Command_Prompt_or_PowerShell\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Check Your Model Number from the Command Prompt (or PowerShell)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re comfortable using the Command Prompt (or PowerShell, where these commands also work), you can easily check a variety of motherboard and hardware stats using the handy Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC)\u2014a command-line interface for Microsoft\u2019s powerful WMI tool.<\/p>\n<p>With the WMIC, you can entry the query <code>baseboard<\/code> to check motherboard stats, and then use additional modifiers like\u00a0<code>get Manufacturer, Model, Name, PartNumber, slotlayout, serialnumber, or poweredon<\/code> to get more detailed information about the motherboard.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, let\u2019s check a motherboard\u2019s manufacturer, model number, and serial number using WMIC.<\/p>\n<p>Open up the command prompt in Windows via either the run dialog (Windows+R) or by searching for \u201ccmd\u201d on the Start menu \u2014 no need to run the Command Prompt as an administrator. And, as we mentioned, you could also use PowerShell here, if you prefer. The command works the same in both shells. At the command line, type the following text (noting that there are no spaces between the modifiers\u2014just commas), and then hit Enter:<\/p>\n<pre>wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber<\/pre>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-330066 \" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/wmic_1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"The Command Prompt will display your motherboard manufacturer and model. \" width=\"641\" height=\"148\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The information returned checks out for the motherboard we\u2019re using: the manufacturer is Gigabyte, the board is the Z170X-Gaming 7, and while the WMIC tool tried to check the serial number, Gigabyte left that particular bit unfilled for whatever reason.
