    Okay.

    So what you're trying to do is to register your new motherboard with Windows 8.1?

    I don't need to find out the PC's serial number and not the Windows serial key

    So what is the problem then? All of the motherboard information displayed by programs like Speccy come from the computer's BIOS. It is very common for retail motherboards to not have any of that information stored in the BIOS. It might be on a sticker on the motherboard, or it could have been a sticker on the box it came in. You simply are not going to be able to retrieve that information using software. You are going to have to look closely on the motherboard.

    I apologize, I misunderstood what you want.
    What is it exactly that you need? I notice from your screenshot, you're in Brazil? You speak Portuguese?

    (reason why is because I don't understand 100% what you're trying to get from your first post. Are you just looking for an app that would tell you what computer make/model you have?)

    I also want to point out that if you are trying to find who makes your computer and what model it is, it will probably not show anywhere anymore, because you said the motherboard was replaced. All that information is stored on the original motherboard that comes with the computer.

    I built my own computer:

    Edit (8:36 my local time):
    The only possible way you can identify your computer's make/model is probably with the booklets that came with it, and by that sticker that I posted earlier...

    I've noticed this that when I translated backwards to see if it was right the text lost its meaning and didn't look the same, but I didn't know I had to do it that way;

    That's why I recommended Speccy. It doesn't "need" translated.
    It is a small screenshot, and we all know what the categories are.

    Hello @vanessa655767,

    What about this [ As per the Thread title ]?

    Copy & Paste the following [ ALL at once ] into a CMD Prompt and press Enter.

    Code:
    
    @echo off
    PowerShell (Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem ^| Select ^
         @{L="' Manufacturer                           '";E={;if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($_.Manufacturer)) {'-'} else {$_.Manufacturer}}}, ^
         @{L="' Model'                                  ";E={;if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($_.Model))        {'-'} else {$_.Model}}} ^| Format-List ^| Out-String -Width 1000).Trim("""`r`n""")
    PowerShell (Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_BIOS ^| Select ^
         @{L="' Serial Number                          '";E={;if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($_.SerialNumber)) {'--^> [NO ''Serial Number'' Present]'} else {$_.SerialNumber}}} ^| Format-List ^| Out-String -Width 1000).Trim("""`r`n""")
    
    
    

    I hope this helps.

    The reasons for the errors is that you ran it in PowerShell. It needs to be run in CMD Prompt as per my post.

    From what I'm understanding, I think vanessa is looking for something that would say what make & model her computer is.

    So let's say that I have an HP computer, then she wants an app saying that she has an HP computer, and that app would also say the model number. Right?
    Is there an app out there that would say these two things?
    I've never come across anything that would say that. The only identification would be on some sticker on the computer itself. Right?
