How to find your motherboard model and revision

Read the board identity in Windows

Open PowerShell and run this read-only command:

Get-CimInstance Win32_BaseBoard | Select-Object Manufacturer, Product, Version

Microsoft exposes these properties through the Win32_BaseBoard class. The command selects the manufacturer, product and board version without including the serial number. Firmware supplies the values, so an empty or generic result is not a reliable identification.

Check System Information

Press Windows + R, enter msinfo32, and open System Summary. Compare the baseboard fields with the PowerShell result. Record the BIOS version separately: it describes firmware, not necessarily the physical board revision.

Match the physical product

Compare the result with the model and revision printed on the board or its original packaging. Preserve suffixes such as WIFI, DDR4, MAX and II. For example, the Gigabyte B550M DS3H support site separates revisions 1.0–1.3 from later revisions; a download page for the wrong revision is not interchangeable.

If this is a prebuilt PC

Start with the complete computer model on the PC maker's support site. Do not assume a retail motherboard with a similar name uses the same BIOS.

Keep the useful details

Save the complete product name, physical revision and current BIOS version. These three fields make later driver, manual and CPU-support checks much easier.
