Chapter 1.Product overview 7

The following illustration shows where to find the machine type and model information of your computer.
FCC ID and IC Certification information
You can find the FCC and IC Certification information through one of the following methods:
Through an electronic-label screen (E-label screen) preinstalled on your computer. To view the E-label
screen, see “Regulatory labels” on page 115.
On a physical label attached to the outside of your computer shipping carton.
Labels for the Windows operating systems
Windows® 10 Genuine Microsoft® label: Your computer might have a Genuine Microsoft label affixed to its
cover depending on the following factors:
Your geographic location
Date when your computer was manufactured
Version of Windows 10 that is preinstalled
Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Hardware.aspx for illustrations of the various types of
Genuine Microsoft labels.
In the People’s Republic of China, the Genuine Microsoft label is required on all computer models
preinstalled with any version of Windows 10.
In other countries and regions, the Genuine Microsoft label is required only on computer models licensed
for Windows 10 Pro.
The absence of a Genuine Microsoft label does not indicate that the preinstalled Windows version is not
genuine. For details on how to tell whether your preinstalled Windows product is genuine, refer to the
information provided by Microsoft at:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/default.aspx
8P1/X1 Extreme User Guide

There are no external, visual indicators of the Product ID or Windows version for which the computer is
licensed. Instead, the Product ID is recorded in the computer firmware. Whenever a Windows 10 product is
