Knowing the specifics of your PC's hardware can be crucial for troubleshooting, upgrading, or simply satisfying your curiosity. Among the most important components is the motherboard, as it houses the CPU, RAM, and other critical hardware. In this guide, we will walk you through a simple way to identify your motherboard model without opening up your computer case.
Whether you're planning an upgrade, troubleshooting an issue, or just gathering information, these quick and easy steps will help you quickly and efficiently determine your motherboard's details.
Here is how to do this on your Windows 11 PC:
First, we will open a Run window. To do this, right click on the Start button, usually found on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, and then click on Run.
In the run box, clear out anything listed in here if necessary. Type in msinfo32 and then click on OK.
This will open a system information window that should be on the system summary option by default. Locate “Baseboard manufacturer” which will be your motherboard manufacturer. In our example, this is ASUS.
Below that will be the “Baseboard product” or the model number of your motherboard. In our example, it is TUF Gaming B550-PLUS Wi-Fi II.
