How to know exactly the model of your Xiaomi laptop – all the ways from sticker to command line

Have you bought a Xiaomi laptop from your hands, lost the box, or simply forgotten its exact modification? Without knowing the model, you can’t download the right drivers, order parts, or even check compatibility with games. Fortunately, the manufacturer has provided several ways to identify the device, from the obvious (bottom sticker) to the hidden (commands in Windows or Linux).

In this article, we will discuss 7 proven methods to find out the model of a Xiaomi laptop, from the simplest to the most technically complex. We will pay special attention to the nuances for different lines: Mi Notebook Pro, RedmiBook 15, Xiaomi Book S 12.4 and others. You will also learn why sometimes the data in the system and on the case do not match, and what to do if the sticker is erased.

1.The fastest way: sticker on the laptop case

The first thing to check is the information sticker on the bottom of the laptop, which Xiaomi usually has closer to the center or to one of the corners.

• 📋 Model Name or Model Number: Full name (e.g. RedmiBook 15 Pro)
• 🔢 S/N (Serial number – may be required for warranty service
• 🖥️ Type or P/N — Model code for service centers (e.g, M2202SH)

On Xiaomi laptops from 2020 to 2026, the sticker is often minimalist: white text on a gray background. If the labels are erased, try flashing the flashlight at an angle — sometimes it helps to see the characters. On Xiaomi Book S 12.4 models (on Windows 11), the sticker may not be there — in this case, use the methods from the following sections.

⚠️ Note: Used laptops may have had a sticker replaced or forged. Always check the data against the information in the BIOS system.

2. Through Windows settings: system information

If the laptop is powered on and running Windows 10/11, you can find out the model through standard system tools.

1. Press Win + R, enter msinfo32 and press Enter.
2. In the window that opens, find the lines: 🔹 The manufacturer must be XIAOMI or Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd. 🔹 Model - for example, Mi Notebook Pro 15.6" or " M2202SH

Alternative path: Parameters → System system → This is where the model can be displayed under "Device Characteristics." However, some Xiaomi laptops (especially with the OEM-Windows versions of this field is empty – then proceed to the next method.

3.Use Command Prompt (CMD) or PowerShell

For power users, or if the GUI is not available, the command line will do. Type one of the commands:

wmic csproduct get name, identifyingnumber

Or for PowerShell:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystem | Select-Object Model

The result will look like this:

If the command returns the void or To be filled by O.E.M., it means that the data is not written in the BIOS. In this case, move to the method with a physical inspection or use CPU-Z (described below).

💡

If the command prompt gives an error "wmic is not an internal or external command", run it on behalf of the administrator or check the integrity of system files with the sfc /scannow command.

4. Special utilities: CPU-Z, HWiNFO, Speccy

Third-party programs often show more information than standard Windows tools.

• 🔧 CPU-Z (mainboard → field)
• 📊 HWiNFO (System Summary) → System Model)
• 🔍 Speccy (Section General Information) → System board)

Example of CPU-Z display for RedmiBook 16 (2023):

Manufacturer: XIAOMI Model: R2202SF (this is the code for the driver search model).

⚠️ Note: On laptops with modified BIOS (For example, after overclocking, the utilities may show incorrect data.

Download CPU-Z from the official website |Install and run the program |Go to the Mainboard |Find the Manufacturer and Model| fields Check the data with the sticker on the case-->

5. Check through BIOS/UFEI

If the laptop is turned on but Windows is not booting, you can find the model in the BIOS.

1. Turn off the laptop.
2. Press and hold F2 (for most Xiaomi models) or Del.
3. Turn on the power without releasing the key.

In the BIOS, look for information on the main screen (Main or System Information).

Product Name: Mi Notebook Pro X 15 Version: M2203SH

On Xiaomi laptops from 2023 to 2026, the BIOS may be in Chinese, in which case, focus on the Latin characters in the Product or Model fields.

6. Model definition by serial number (S/N)

If you only find the serial number (for example, on a sticker or in a check), it can be decrypted. Xiaomi laptop serials usually contain encrypted information about the model. Example format:

L2203Dxxxxxxxxxx, where: L - factory code, 2203 - year and month of release (March 2022), D - series (for example, RedmiBook),

The other symbols are a unique identifier.

To find out the model by S/N:

1. Go to Xiaomi’s support website: mi.com/global/support.
2. Enter the serial number in the search box.
3. The system will show the model and the date of production.

If the site doesn’t recognize the number, try contacting support via chat (available on the Chinese version of the site) or use checkcoverage.apple.com (yes, it sometimes works for Xiaomi devices thanks to common manufacturers).

7. Visual identification by design

If no technical methods have helped, you can identify the model by external features. Xiaomi laptops have characteristic design features:

Also note:

• 🔌 Port location (e.g. RedmiBook 14 has a port location) HDMI on the right, and Mi Notebook 14 on the left).
• 🎹 Keyboard type (backlighting, Enter size, presence of digital unit).
• 🖱️ The shape of the touchpad (pro models it is often glass, RedmiBook – plastic).

💡

If the laptop is visually similar to RedmiBook 15, but the system displays as Mi Notebook, most likely you have a laptop. OEM-In this case, focus on the model code (for example, R2201SF).
