Laptop’s Serial Number

Option 1: Check the Bottom of Your Laptop

1. Power off the laptop: Make sure your laptop is completely turned off to avoid any damage or malfunction while handling it.
2. Disconnect all cables: Unplug all connected devices, such as the power cable, USB devices, and external accessories.
3. Flip the laptop upside down: Place the laptop on a soft surface to avoid scratching or damaging the exterior. Carefully turn the laptop over so the bottom is facing up.
4. Locate the serial number label: Look for a sticker on the bottom panel of the laptop. This label might also include other important information like the model number and regulatory certifications. The serial number is typically labeled as “Serial Number,” “SN,” or “S/N.
5. Record the serial number: Write down the 14 Digit serial number exactly as it appears. It is usually a combination of letters and numbers.

Example Format:

• SN: D5BDXXXXXXXXXX

Option 2: Check Your Laptop’s BIOS

1. Restart your laptop: Save any open work, close all applications, and reboot your laptop.
2. Enter the BIOS: As your laptop starts to boot up, repeatedly press the F2, F10, Delete, or Esc key (the specific key varies by laptop brand) until you enter the BIOS or UEFI setup screen. You may need to refer to your laptop’s user manual to confirm the correct key.
3. Find the serial number in BIOS: Once in the BIOS, navigate to the System Information or Main tab (the layout of the BIOS menu can differ between laptop brands). Look for the Serial Number or System Serial Number entry.
4. Record the serial number: Note down the serial number as displayed in the BIOS.

Option 3: Use Command Prompt (For Windows Users)

1. Open the Run dialog: Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
2. Open Command Prompt: Type cmd in the Run dialog and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
3. Run the serial number command: In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:
   “wmic bios get serialnumber”

Option 4: Check the Laptop's Packaging or Invoice

1. Locate the original packaging: If you still have the box your laptop came in, check the exterior for a label containing the serial number. Manufacturers often print the serial number on the box alongside the product’s barcode.
2. Check the invoice or receipt: If you bought your laptop from a retailer or an online store, the serial number may also be listed on your purchase invoice or receipt. Look for labels marked “Serial Number”, “S/N”, or “SN.”
3. Record the serial number: Write down the serial number from the packaging or invoice.
