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. So, 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

In this method, we will utilize Windows 10’s command prompt to find the serial number. Here’s what you need to do.

1. First, open Windows search and type in CMD. Then, right-click on the CMD and select Run as administrator.

Another easy method to find the Laptop 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.
