As part of this material, various methods will be described to find out the serial number of a computer. This information is not so often in demand. But all the same, in some cases it can come in very, very helpful.
Sticker. Documentation
The easiest way is to find a sticker on the body of the system unit. Well-known manufacturers of computer technology, this information must be indicated on the PC case. You can also find out the serial number of the PC in the documentation for the system unit. Again, this can only be done if the computer is manufactured by a well-known manufacturer. Small firms that only specialize in the assembly of computer systems do not indicate such data.
Command line
This is a more versatile way to find out the serial number of a computer. Windows of any version has built-in tools for such diagnostics. The first step is to run the command line utility. To do this, just press the key combination "Win" + "R". At the next stage, we type in the command that opens: “CMD”. After that, in the dialing line you need to type: "wmic bios get serialnumber". Next, press enter. At the next stage, a message appears with the information we are interested in in the same window.
Specialized Software
Another way to find out the serial number of a computer is to use specialized programs. Again, such software works on special computing systems. For example, HP has the “HP support” utility. It allows you to find out the serial number of the computing system, but can only function on computers of this manufacturer.
Conclusion
As part of this review, various methods have been given that make it possible to determine the serial number of any computing system. It is most practical to do this using system software. This is the most universal way that should work on any computer. The remaining two methods can only be used on PCs of famous manufacturers.
