Why Do I Want To Do This?
There are a variety of situations where knowing your motherboard’s model number is important: upgrading your drivers, buying new hardware (you’ll need the proper expansion slots for card-based upgrades and the right memory DIMMS for memory upgrades, etc.), and checking the capabilities of your board if you’re considering upgrading the entire thing.First Way (SIMPLEST WAY):-

Second Way:-
Checking Your Model Number via CMD.exe
If you’re comfortable using the command line , you can easily check a variety of motherboard and hardware stats using the handy Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) a command-line interface for Microsoft’s powerful WMI tool.With the WMIC we can entry the query
baseboard
to check motherboard stats and then additional specific query modifiers like get Manufacturer, Model, Name, PartNumber, slotlayout, serialnumber, poweredon
to get more detailed information about the motherboard. Let’s check our
motherboard’s manufacturer, model number, and serial number using WMIC.Open up the command prompt in Windows via either the run dialog (WIN+R) or via the search in the start menu; enter cmd.exe into either, no need to run it as an administrator.
Enter the following text at the command line.
wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber
This will return the following data.The above information checks out for our system: the manufacturer is Ecs, the board is the H55H-M, and while the WMIC tool attempted to check the serial number.
