This article includes information on how to find the serial number of an HP laptop, regardless of the version of Windows you're running] using several different methods.

Your serial number is a string of numbers and letters that identifies your specific HP device. A series of laptops, like the HP Envy, will have product numbers or model numbers that match the other laptops manufactured at the same time, but a serial number is unique to each specific laptop.

If you can’t find the label with your serial number, it may have been damaged or removed. As long as your laptop is still in working condition, you can also get the serial number by using the Command Prompt.

1. Open the command prompt by typing cmd into the task bar beside the Start menu. On some versions of Windows you may need to open the Run dialog box and enter cmd.

2. In the Command Prompt, type wmic bios get serialnumber and press Enter.

3. Your serial number should appear after the command.

Your serial number identifies your specific HP product, taking the guesswork out of troubleshooting by identifying when your laptop was manufactured and which hardware was used.

If you contact customer support to resolve a problem, they will ask for the serial number. You can also use the serial number to check on the warranty status for your laptop. Whether or not your device is still under warranty, you’ll need to provide the number if you send your laptop for repairs.

Even after your laptop’s warranty has expired, you can use the serial number to see how old your laptop is.

The serial number is a string of letters and numbers. You can determine your laptop’s manufacturing date by looking at the 4th, 5th, and 6th digits in the serial number. The 4th digit is the last digit of the year, and the following two digits indicate the week. The string of numbers 050 would indicate a laptop manufactured during the 50th week of the year 2020.

To find your serial number, the first place you should look is on the bottom of your laptop. It’s usually printed on a label along with the product number, model number, and warranty length. If you don’t see the label, it may be located inside the battery compartment.

The serial number is also located in the System Information window of your HP laptop. To open the System Information window, use your laptop’s built-in keyboard to enter the key combination Fn + Esc [on some laptops it may be Ctrl+Alt+S].

If your business requires you to be on the move frequently, chances are you rely heavily on your HP laptop. Over time and with plenty of wear and tear, your model might require adjustment or repair. To expedite your repair work and locate the replacement parts required, the manufacturer may request your model number. Depending on which model you own, your model number can be found using several different methods.

On the Underside of the Laptop

1. On most HP models, the sticker on the underside of the laptop contains your model number, along with other important information. Turn your laptop upside down and place it on a soft, clean surface such as a chair or couch cushion. Locate the white or silver sticker on the underside of the laptop, toward the middle of the casing. Read the sticker and look for the prefix "P/N." The number following this prefix is your computer's model number.

On the Inside of the Battery Compartment

1. If the sticker on the underside of the laptop has been scratched off or purposefully removed, another place to check is inside the battery compartment. Turn the laptop upside down and locate the battery compartment near the screen hinge. Depress the lever to unlock the battery and lift it gently upward to remove it. Look for a white or silver rectangular sticker, either on the battery or in the compartment. Locate the "P/N" prefix and record the number that follows it.

Beneath the Laptop's Bottom Casing

1. If you can't locate the model number on the battery or on the bottom of the computer, you may need to remove the casing on the underside of the laptop to find it. Ensure that the laptop is powered off and the battery is removed. With a small Phillips-head screwdriver, remove all of the perimeter screws from the casing. Place the screws in a secure location and gently lift up the casing. Near the left corner of the laptop, you'll see a square of information and specifications. Locate the "P/N" prefix and record the number that follows. Replace the casing and re-install the screws.

Using System Information

1. Another way to locate the model of your HP laptop is by using the System Information screen. Press "FN-Esc" to open the HP System Information window. A lot of information will be displayed within this window, but all you'll need to look for is the "Product Number" heading. The number will contain the "#" symbol and is slightly different from a model number, but it will still provide all of the necessary information to the manufacturer or repair service.

Using HP Support Assistant

1. If you have the HP Support Assistant software installed, you can use it to quickly find your computer's model number. Click the Windows "Start" button and type "HP" in the Search field. Choose "HP Support Assistant" from the displayed results. Your model number and other information will be displayed along the bottom edge of the Support Assistant window.
