The serial number of a laptop identifies the individual laptops from one another. Usually, manufacturers assign incremental serial numbers to the HP laptops. This way, they can keep records of the laptop information and warranty status after selling them.
So, if you ever lose your laptop, it is possible to use the serial number to identify the device if it is discovered. Other than that, you may also use this ID to check whether the laptop’s warranty is still valid.
Using the Sticker on the Laptop or Packaging
The easiest way to find the serial number on your HP laptop is by looking at the stickers on the back of the laptop or its packaging. You will usually find the serial number under the labels: S/N, SN, Serial, or Serial No near the bar/QR code. Some devices may also contain this information inside the external battery compartment.
From HP System Information
HP also provides an app, the HP System Information, which contains the laptop’s basic system and device information. To check the serial number from this app,
Through HP Support Assistant
You can use HP’s dedicated configuration application, the HP Support Assistant, to find the product details like the serial number. In addition to it, you can also troubleshoot your system as well as check the warranty status through this app.
Using Command Prompt
It is also possible to get this information on your laptop using a command-line interface likeCommand Prompt. You need to use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service that accesses and manages your device and other hardware information. And to do so, you can use the WMI command-line (WMIC) command from the Command Prompt.
Using PowerShell
While you can use thewmiccommand on PowerShell as well, it also provides its cmdlet to get the serial number, which is theGet-CimInstancecmdlet.
Through BIOS Setup
you’re able to also find your device details—including the serial number on the laptop’s BIOS setup utility.
