How do I know my laptop model HP?

To find your HP laptop model, the quickest way is often using a simple keyboard shortcut provided by HP or checking physical labels on the device. Knowing your exact model is crucial for finding correct drivers, support, and compatible parts.

The Easiest Way: Using the Keyboard Shortcut

For most HP notebooks, a built-in system information tool is readily accessible via a keyboard command.

• Press the Function (Fn) and Escape (Esc) keys together on your laptop's keyboard.
• This action should open the HP System Information window on your screen.
• While the appearance of this window can vary slightly depending on your specific device model and software version, it reliably contains key product details.
• Look for information such as the Product Name and Serial Number. The Product Name is typically what identifies your specific laptop model (e.g., HP Spectre x360, HP Envy 13).

This method is directly supported by HP and is usually the fastest way to get the information without searching for stickers or navigating through system menus.

Checking the Physical Label

HP often places stickers or labels on the laptop itself that contain model information.

• Look on the bottom of your laptop.
• Check underneath the battery (if your battery is removable).
• Sometimes, labels can be found on the side of the laptop or under a service cover.
• Search for labels that include text like "Product Name," "Model No.," or "P/N" (Part Number). The Model No. or Product Name is what you're typically looking for.

Be careful not to confuse the model number with the serial number, although both are often listed together.

Using Windows System Information

If you are using Windows, you can also find system details through the operating system itself.

• Type "System Information" into the Windows search bar and press Enter.
• Alternatively, you can press Windows Key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter.
• In the System Information window that appears, look for the line that says "System Model". This entry often lists your HP laptop model number.
