How to find out what your motherboards model is?

Once you’ve tried checking hardware compatibility or updating your drivers manually, you will discover the use of learning how to find the motherboard model number in Windows 10. Thankfully, running a few commands via the Command Prompt will allow you to know about your motherboard model and serial number. In this post, we are going to show you the simple steps.

How to Find My Computer’s Motherboard Serial Number on Windows 10

  1. Go to your taskbar and click the Search icon.
  2. Type “CMD” (no quotes), then select Command Prompt from the results.
  3. Once Command Prompt is up, type the following command:

wmic bios get serialnumber

  1. Press Enter to run the command.

Some Factors to Remember When Trying to Get your Motherboard Serial Number

Once you’ve run the command we provided, you should be able to see the serial number of your motherboard. However, there are some instances wherein Command Prompt only shows a blank space. In other cases, it might display an alert saying, “To be filled by OEM.” In general, this indicates that you are attempting to install your OEM software on a different device than the one you initially bought.

On the other hand, it can also mean that your PC cannot recognize the motherboard serial number. There are various reasons why this happens. In rare cases, it is possible that your computer manufacturer did not submit all the essential hardware information. Consequently, your operating system cannot identify the necessary hardware details.

Perhaps, Command Prompt is simply taking a while to recognize the motherboard serial number. This happens when your computer is too slow. So, you might want to try eliminating speed-reducing issues first by installing Auslogics BoostSpeed. Once you activate this tool, it will run a complete scan of your system and look for junk files and other items that may cause application glitches or crashes. Auslogics BoostSpeed will remove them safely with no risk of damaging your operating system. Once the process is complete, you can try running the command again to get your motherboard serial number.

Another key thing to remember is that Windows 10 Insider builds are just technical previews of the operating system. So, they still lack a lot of features. If you’re using one, you might not be able to see your motherboard’s serial number.
