Community Answer

Assuming your HP laptop is running Windows, open your Control Panel. Once it is open, click on "System and Security", then click "System." The product key will show close to the bottom of the window.

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.

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

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.

Question

How do I find out the physical differences between HP laptops?

Community Answer

Finding physical differences is a matter of looking at the case design, colors, keyboard layout, screen size and resolution, and hardware. Finding these will allow you to compare and identify specific models of HP laptops at a physical level.

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 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.
