Find the Serial Number On Laptop’s Hardware, Box, etc

Well, before looking elsewhere, you need to look at the Laptop’s hardware. Usually, the serial number of the laptop is listed at the downside of the laptop where you put on the battery. So, flip the laptop and check for the serial number. The serial numbers are usually printed directly on the plastic or metal the laptop is made from. If you didn’t find the serial number there, then remove the battery and check inside the battery compartment. You can also take a look at the laptop bill.

sing CMD

#1 In your Windows PC you need to access the Powershell for that simply press Windows button and then type “powershell” and you will be able to open it.

Well, another easy method to find the Serial number of the laptop is through BIOS or UEFI firmware settings. However, playing with BIOS settings is not a recommended method, still if the above command prompt trick has failed to list the serial number and if you don’t have any other option left, then you can try the BIOS or UEFI method.

For that, head to the BIOS settings page and take a brief look at the Main screen. You need to note down the number written behind ‘Serial Number’. If you don’t find the Serial Number on the main screen, then search for it in the ‘System Configuration’.
