(Updated on 11/01/2024)

Do you still have these questions and can't find the answers?

You’re in the right place! With the rapid pace of tablet releases, keeping track of all the new models—and their names—can be tricky. Microsoft recently introduced its latest Surface Pro tablet. But with previous models like the "Surface Pro X" (released in October 2019) and "Surface Go 3" (released in September 2021), not to mention an original "Surface" from 2012, it’s no wonder things can get confusing.

Here’s how to quickly identify which Surface model you have!

So which Surface do I have?

While it's not difficult to find out what model Surface you have, the process involves a few steps. Some models have a 4-digit number on the back next to the serial number which can be inputted into Google for an instant result. However, some models do not have this 4-digit number so we'll need to take an alternative approach:

1) First, you must locate the serial number located underneath the stand on the backside
