If the HP model and serial number are not detailed on manufacturers label on the bottom of the laptop, or the label is missing, there are a couple of ways you can find out that information. Try the following as a starter, but if that does not pull-up the information then I will provide the alternatives.

Click on Start Menu -->> then Settings -->> then System -->> then scroll down the menu on the left hand side and click on About, and it should show the model number and serial number amongst the other system information.

Take the battery out and the model number will be there

Theres is another way than suggested can go to https://www.hp.com/us-en/parts-store put in the serial number or model # or part number and it will give you a list of things you can replace. Word of warning regarding using second-hand parts If the computer is under warranty and you put an non-hp or non-dell etc part the manufacturer will not do repair or replacement if there is non parts from the manufacturer.
