Is there any way to find out the motherboard for my dell e6420 without opening the machine? [duplicate]

Question

Is there any way to find out the motherboard for my dell e6420 without opening the machine?

I want to find out the maximum and type of ram.

On laptops it's generally going to be a proprietary motherboard specific to that model. But you can find out what type of RAM separately from knowing the motherboard. Run a utility like CPU-Z or google "Dell E6420 Service Manual" to find a PDF which lists the specs. — LawrenceC, May 16, 2015 at 13:21

In a Command Prompt enter:

wmic baseboard get product,Manufacturer,version,serialnumber

That should give you what you're looking for your motherboard.

You can type:

wmic baseboard get /?

for more options.

The second question looks like it has an answer already.

This tool (called speccy) works well and gives the info you are looking for.

Speccy is very good. Add it to your answer and I will accept. Max recommended for my motherboard is 8GB
