This tutorial will show you different ways to find the model name and number of your Windows 11 computer.

The system product name is the specific model of your Windows 11 device. Knowing the specific model name and number of your device can help you find the correct drivers and replacement parts for it.

An OEM (ex: HP, Dell, Surface, etc...) device's system product name usually cannot be changed.

If you built your own computer, then you can change the default System Product Name to a custom model name you want.

Option One

Find Computer Model Name and Number on OEM Sticker


1 Perform one of the following actions to find the model name and number on your OEM PC: (see screenshots below)
  • If you have a laptop, flip it over to the bottom side. On some laptops, you will see the model name and number on a manufacturer sticker on the bottom of the laptop. On others, you’ll see the model name and number printed directly on the metal or plastic. If your laptop has a removable battery, the model name and number is sometimes on a sticker inside the battery compartment, under the battery.
  • If you have a desktop, look at the back, top, side, or inside of the case for a manufacturer sticker.
