How to Find Your Computer Model in Windows 11

What Is a Computer Model?

Your computer’s model name is a special code that tells you what type of PC you own. You can usually find this on a sticker on the back or side of your computer. If you can’t find it there, you can look inside Windows instead.

Note: If you built your own PC, you might be able to change the model name. But if you have a brand-name computer like HP, Dell, or Lenovo, the model name usually stays the same.
