There might be various reasons why you want to find your Laptop’s serial number. For example, do you want to avail yourself of some technical services or download drivers?
Whatever the reason, you can easily find your Laptop’s serial number on a Windows 11/10 computer. Here’s what you need to do.
1. Find the Serial Number On Laptop’s Hardware, Box, etc.
Before looking elsewhere, you need to examine the Laptop’s hardware. Usually, the Laptop serial number is listed on the side where you put the battery. Flip the Laptop over and check for the serial number.
The serial numbers are usually printed directly on the laptop’s plastic or metal. If you don’t find the serial number, remove the battery and check inside the compartment. You can also look at the laptop bill.
2. Using Command Prompt
You can easily find your laptop’s serial number using the command prompt. Here’s what you need to do.
1. Open Windows search and type in CMD. Right-click on CMD and select Run as administrator.
2. Type in wmic bios get serialnumber and press Enter.
3. You will now see the computer’s serial number. If it says ‘To be filled by O.E.M,’ it means the PC manufacturer didn’t fill in the number correctly.
3. Using PowerShell
Like the command prompt, PowerShell can also be used to find your laptop’s serial number.
1. Type PowerShell in Windows search, right-click on it, and select ‘Run as administrator.’
2. Execute the command shared below:
gwmi win32_bios | fl SerialNumber
3. Your serial number will now be displayed on your screen.
4. Through BIOS
Another easy method to find the laptop’s Serial number is through BIOS or UEFI firmware settings.
However, playing with BIOS settings is not recommended. Still, if the above command prompt trick fails to list the serial number, you can try the BIOS or UEFI method if you have no other option.
To do so, go to the BIOS settings page and briefly check the main screen. Note the number written behind the ‘Serial Number.’ If you don’t find the Serial Number on the main screen, search for it in the ‘System Configuration.’
These are the best ways to find your laptop’s serial number on Windows. If you need more help with this topic, let us know in the comments.
