The computer motherboard is one of the core components of the system. It ties together various vital parts of the computer which includes memory, a central processing unit (CPU), and connectors for output and input devices. Sometimes conditions come when you want to confirm the system hardware compatibility or update drivers.

It is not mandatory to open the computer case to check the motherboard model. You can check the system motherboard model number within Windows just by pressing a few keys on the keyboard.
