Buying a laptop battery, keyboard, screen or charger becomes much easier when you know the exact laptop model. Simply saying “I have an HP laptop” isn’t usually enough because different HP models can use completely different parts.
Before ordering a spare part, take a few minutes to find your laptop’s exact model number. Here are the easiest ways to do it.
Check the Bottom of Your Laptop
Turn the laptop over and look for a sticker or label. You may see information such as the model, product number, serial number or service tag.
Write down the full model information. Avoid using only the brand name or general series.
Check Windows
If your laptop is working, go to:
Settings → System → About
Look for System Model or your device name.
You can also press Windows + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. In the System Information window, look for System Model.
Use Command Prompt
You can quickly check the model using Command Prompt.
Open Command Prompt and type:
wmic computersystem get modelOn Windows versions where WMIC is no longer available, use Windows Settings or System Information instead.
Check the BIOS
If Windows isn’t starting, the laptop model may still be available in the BIOS or UEFI settings. Restart the laptop and use the manufacturer’s BIOS key, such as F2, F10 or Delete.
Look for Model, Product Name or System Model.
Is the Model Number Enough?
Not always.
For some parts, you may also need the part number printed on the existing component. This is particularly important for laptop batteries, screens and keyboards, where different versions of the same laptop can use different parts.
For example, if you need a replacement battery, providing both the laptop model and the battery part number can make it much easier to find the correct replacement.
