How do I find what Motherboard I have?

[Lightning_Strike]

I am running a hp computer and I want to know how do I find what motherboard I have. I want to know so i can look into upgrading other components of the pc or if I need to upgrade the motherboard first

 

Link to PC: Here

 

The only difference between that computer and my current one is I have 8 GB of RAM now.

Hi, I assume you have had the cover off and looked to see if there is any identification name or number on the board?

 

If nothing obvious it may be a board made for HP.

 

Try installing Speccy, that can sometimes find the details of the motherboard for you. Download and install Speccy from here=

you should see all the relevant parts listed on the left, just click on Motherboard. It will tell you all it can find about it.

Without opening the case CPU-z ( cpuid.com ) and/or AIDA64 ( aida64.com ) are the best software option IMHO.

Especially for Laptops AIDA64 is the best solution as it can read extended info from the motherboard ( if the manufacturer has filled the info of course ) to be precise for the multi-configuration laptop models, etc.
