Question

How can I find out what series my HP laptop is?

asher patel

Community Answer

Check the labels on the bottom for the series name, such as "Pavilion." Press Win + R, type `msinfo32`, and check System Model for the series name. You can also open the HP Support Assistant under My Devices or visit HP Support and enter your serial number. Reboot and press F10 during startup to see the series in BIOS, or look for branding on the laptop body/keyboard.

Question

I forgot my password. How do I access my laptop?

Kpac Marketing

Community Answer

If you forgot your laptop password, try the following steps: For Windows, use the "Forgot Password" option on the login screen if it's linked to a Microsoft account, or reset it via a password reset disk if created. For Mac, use your Apple ID to reset the password or boot into Recovery Mode to reset it. For a Windows local account, boot into Safe Mode or use password recovery tools. If none of these work, contact the manufacturer’s support or use recovery media to reinstall the operating system. Ensure you back up your data regularly to avoid loss in such situations.

Question

How do I find my HP laptop model number if it has its own antivirus installed?

Rudy Toth

Community Answer

The anti-virus program has nothing to do with your HP laptop model number. This is the major difference between software (inside the hard drive) and the model (machine hardware) issue. Go to Settings and in the search box type out, About Your PC and press the Enter key and there you have it.

Question

How can I find the model number on my HP?

Rudy Toth

Community Answer

If you still have the packaging that your laptop came in, it's printed on the lower right side of the white label. And if you don't have the white label, then go to your Settings and in the search box, type in About Your PC, then press the Enter key and there you go.

Question

How do I find just the model type? I don't need the model number. I just need the model. I have an HP Pavilion 17 Notebook.

Community Answer

Without the model number, your model is HP Pavilion 27. Model numbers are for specifying which device you received from the manufacturer.

I need to replace my power cord on my hp laptop. Where do I find the right number for it?

Typically, you can search online for your HP laptop model and model number and "replacement AC adapter" to find the correct replacement. Be sure to find one with greater or equal voltage to your current power cord!

Question

I need to know if I can attach one extra RAM in my laptop but I don't know if it is attachable or not. How can I know that?

Community Answer

You must remove the back casing from your laptop to verify this. Look where your RAM is currently seated to determine if there is an extra slot. If necessary, remove the currently seated RAM because the second slot is sometimes underneath.
