Unless you have purchased an all inclusive, super, fantastic, elastic, paid support contract here, an answer in 1 or 2 days is much more realistic than 1 or 2 minutes.
(crap, you can't even get a drink in a bar in 2 minutes at 1am, even if you own the bar - get real and learn the world does not revolve around yourself)

Use the first six characters of your serial number and this table:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers
To learn what our nickname is for your particular model Kindle.
You will need that nickname at this site, everything is listed, indexed, prefixed and/or referenced to that nickname.

"Generation" terminology is Sales and Marketing labels, they can vary from region to region.

Now that you have the nickname, and therefore know what to look for ...
Find that your only choice currently is to use the serial port.

You don't have to wait to find out if it works for your model/firmware combination, just read the first post of the thread:

(The procedure is based on hardware characteristics common to all touchscreen devices, EXCEPT the two Oasis models.)
