To determine the version or model of your laptop, you can follow these steps:

1. Check the Physical Label

• Most laptops have a label on the bottom or back that includes the model number, serial number, and other identifying information. Look for terms like "Model," "Product," or "Serial Number."
• Some laptops also have the model number printed near the keyboard or on the bezel of the screen.

2. Check the System Information

• Windows:
  1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type msinfo32 and press Enter.
  3. In the System Information window, look for "System Model" or "Product Name" to find your laptop's model number.
• macOS:
  1. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen.
  2. Select "About This Mac."
  3. The model name and year will be displayed (e.g., "MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020)").

3. Check the BIOS/UEFI

• Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like F2, F10, Del, or Esc during startup).
• The model number or version may be listed in the main menu or under a system information tab.

4. Use Command Line Tools

  1. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell.
  2. Type wmic csproduct get name and press Enter. This will display the model name.
• Linux:
  1. Open a terminal.

5. Check the Manufacturer's Website

• If you have the serial number, you can visit the manufacturer's website (e.g., Dell, HP, Lenovo, Apple) and enter it in their support or product lookup tool to find detailed information about your laptop.

6. Check the Original Packaging or Documentation

• If you still have the original box or user manual, the model number is often printed on these items.

7. Use Third-Party Tools

• Tools like CPU-Z (Windows) or Belarc Advisor can provide detailed information about your laptop, including the model and version.
