If you want to find out the computer model name and the computer serial number of your Windows 11/10/8/7 PC, here is a simple way to do it using the command prompt.
Find out the local computer model name
First, type ‘cmd’ in Start Search and hit Enter to open a command prompt. Now type the following command to get the local computer model name and hit Enter:
wmic csproduct get name
Find out the laptop or computer serial number
Run the following command to get the computer serial number:
wmic bios get serialnumber
You will see the computer model name and the serial number displayed.
You can use the command wmic csproduct get name to retrieve the local computer model.
You can also find out the laptop serial number using the following VBscript:
On Error Resume Next
Dim strComputer
strComputer = InputBox("Enter the name of the computer:")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colSMBIOS = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_SystemEnclosure")
For Each objSMBIOS in colSMBIOS
MsgBox strComputer & ": " & objSMBIOS.SerialNumber
Next

ive a question… when i type all that in the cmd it tells me “to be filled by o.e.m.”
now i bought this computer thru wal-mart.com an its a cyberpower system.. but i wanna get win7 upgraded to win8 to see if my crashing will stop…please can u help me out a bit i know bout computers but not a genius when it comes to solving computers problems :(
When I run the prompts the box with the name/ number appears and vanishes so fast that I have to click with my fingers already on the buttons for a screenshot, and even then sometimes I wasn’t fast enough. It took me three tries for the serial number.
Is this just a problem with Windows 8, or am I doing something wrong?
It shouldn’t be a problem. Its working fine on my Windows 8.1 too.
