What is how to see what motherboard i have?

Here's how you can find your motherboard information:

• Using System Information (Windows):

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type msinfo32 and press Enter. This will open the System Information window.
  3. In the System Summary section, look for "BaseBoard Manufacturer," "BaseBoard Product," and "BaseBoard Version". These entries typically reveal the motherboard's manufacturer, model, and version, respectively.

• Using Command Prompt (Windows):

  1. Open Command Prompt. You can search for it in the Start Menu.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter: wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber
  3. This command will display the manufacturer, product (model), version, and serial number of your motherboard.

• Using PowerShell (Windows):

  1. Open PowerShell.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter: Get-WmiObject win32_baseboard | Format-List
  3. This command will give you detailed information about your motherboard.

• Checking Directly on the Motherboard:

  • The manufacturer and model number are often printed directly on the motherboard itself. You may need to open your computer case to see this. Look for text printed near the CPU socket, RAM slots, or PCI-e slots. This might be useful when you need to find the motherboard%20manufacturer.

• Using Linux:

  • Open a terminal.
  • Type: sudo dmidecode -t baseboard
  • This command will display detailed information about the motherboard, including the manufacturer, model, and serial number. Another method is lshw -class hardware. If lshw is not installed, you may need to install it using your distribution's package manager (e.g., sudo apt-get install lshw on Debian/Ubuntu). You can also use cat /proc/cpuinfo to get CPU%20Information which can also hint at the motherboard type.

• Third-Party Software:

  • Several third-party applications, such as CPU-Z or Speccy, can provide detailed information about your system's hardware, including the motherboard.

Key pieces of information you are likely looking for would be the Motherboard%20Model and the Motherboard%20Version.
