How to Find Device Model and OS Version on Windows 10

Quickly locate exact model number and system version for support requests.

Last verified: February 21, 2026

Windows provides device model information through several tools: the System Information app (msinfo32) shows the System Manufacturer and System Model at the top of its summary, the About page in Settings > System shows the Device Name and device specs, and the WMIC command line tool provides granular hardware details. The System Information tool is preferred for support tickets because it exports a complete hardware and software report in a format that technical support teams can quickly parse. For checking the exact Windows edition and build number — often needed when searching for driver compatibility — the winver command in the Run dialog provides this in a single readable dialog.

Quick Steps

Follow in order for the fastest result.

  1. 1Press Windows + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. System Model and OS Version appear in the System Summary at the top.
  2. 2Note the full model number and current OS version — you will need both for support tickets or driver searches.
