How to Find Your Windows system's Serial Number

Windows doesn’t display your PC’s serial number anywhere in its default applications. You have three ways get that information.

1. PC’s serial number with "wmic" command,
2. In the BIOS,
3. On the hardware.

WMIC Command

Open a Command Prompt window. On Windows 10 or 8, right-click the Start button and select “Command Prompt”. On Windows 7, press Windows + R, type “cmd” into the Run dialog, and then press Enter.

At the Command Prompt, type the following command and then press Enter:

wmic bios get serialnumber

You’ll see the computer’s serial number displayed beneath the text “SerialNumber”. This command uses the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) tool to pull the system’s serial number from its BIOS.
