To find out what motherboard you have, the easiest and most reliable method is to use the built-in Windows System Information tool:
- Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type msinfo32 and press Enter.
- In the System Information window, look for the entries:
- BaseBoard Manufacturer (the motherboard maker)
- BaseBoard Product (the motherboard model)
- BaseBoard Version (the version of the motherboard)
These details will tell you exactly which motherboard is installed in your PC
. Alternatively, you can use third-party software like CPU-Z , which is free and provides detailed motherboard information under its "Mainboard" tab, including manufacturer, model, chipset, and BIOS version
. If these software methods don't work or you want to be sure, you can also check the motherboard physically by opening your PC case and reading the model number printed directly on the board
. For command-line users, you can open Command Prompt or PowerShell and run:
wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version
to get the motherboard manufacturer, product name, and version
. Once you have the motherboard model, you can visit the manufacturer's website for detailed specs, driver updates, and BIOS versions.
