How do you find the model number of one?

Microsoft actually made it pretty difficult to get detailed information in their latest updates to 7, 8.1, 10. The idea being that it confuses people by adding more options and if anyone actually needs it then there are services available via Microsoft Helpline (which hey guess what cost money, convenient for them), but because they can't really drastically alter the OS after its released, they basically just hid it.
Luckily, that means with the right commands it's possible to load it up again. We will do this by creating a table with all the information about your computer eg make model Windows version memory etc.
First, to notepad and paste in the following
Del stands for deluge, Microsoft's interior panel viewer. Basically it's just a window with writing on it, it's a fundamental software so it only takes a one word command to open it rather than like the twenty line command to even open a system application like notepad.
C:\ Windows is the Windows directory, where all the information about your system is stored. This tells the command which folder deluge should be sourcing from for the data it is seeking.
All the stuff after is for different parts of your system. It will give you a brief overview of all the stuff you need to know.
It will allow you to save it so you don't have to do that each time you need to know.
Click File>Save As and change the bottom option from .txt to all files. Save it as stats.bat on your desktop
A .bat is an order for the OS. Think of it like the direct line from the president to his generals. Its what tells Windows that these are instructions to follow.
Finally, right click and run as administrator. This is because only administrators are allowed access to the secret areas of the Windows folder where your personal information is, to deter hackers.

that is a pretty long-winded way of saying 'delete system32'
@OP
are there any markings on the laptop? Sometimes the model number is on the laptop.

There should really be a label on the bottom or something that details model number, serial number, power input requirements, etc. From there you should be able to get any additional specs from the manufacturer's web page.
