The primary printed circuit board (PCB) that links every component of a computer together is called a motherboard. The motherboard is directly or indirectly connected by cables to the CPU, memory, hard drives, and other ports and expansion cards.
To find out the specifications of the motherboard and the components it supports, you need to know the brand (maker) and model (product) of the motherboard.
When searching the manufacturer’s support website for BIOS firmware upgrades, having the motherboard version number on hand might be useful.
The motherboard serial number gives the manufacturer the ability to recognise a product and obtain further details about it, allowing for registration, replacement, or the discovery of compatible components.
Although it is possible to read the brand, model, and serial number straight from the motherboard by opening the computer case, it is frequently far simpler to do so from inside Windows.
In Windows 10 and Windows 11, this guide will demonstrate how to locate the motherboard’s manufacturer, model, serial number, and version information
