Laptops - Bottom of the laptop (under system badge or in battery bay) Desktops - Back or top of the computer chassis Tablets - Back of the tablet My Dell tile or My Dell software on your computer.You can use the Service Tag on their website to get up to date drivers and warranty information.You can find the Service Tag and the Express-Service Code of your computer using one of the following: This is the best way that I’ve found to get the information from a Dell computer. This can also be used to get the system tag for a remote system by using the –computername parameter on the get-wmiobject cmdlet gwmi Win32_ComputerSystem –computername remotesystem-pc Then, we use the parenthesis to turn it into an object, and put the “.” (dot) there to get access to the properties. It is exactly the same, just fewer keystrokes. Here, we invoke the alias for get-wmiObject, gwmi. If you’re putting the computers serial number or system tag through the pipeline, or saving it to a file, then you should use this instead – it will return just the string value stored in WMI. Now, you might want to get right at the string value instead. Now that I’m more refined in my technique, I can show you my simple way to find the serial number or system tag of a Dell computer by using PowerShell: get-wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem | select SerialNumber Tell myself “No problem – I told you I got this”.Fine! Write down the stupid serial number.If today is Monday and you have not had coffee yet, do step 8 two times) Repeat steps 1-7 again (do step 8 only one time.
Forget the stupid serial number halfway through (cause it’s the serial number that’s stupid, not me, right?).Turn the laptop back over, and enter the serial number onto the support webpage.When it’s time to download drivers, there’s one sequence of events that I don’t want to do anymore: A common task is to rebuild a system, or to update a driver after troubleshooting blue screens. But I see a lot of Dell Laptops, Desktops, and Servers in my normal day-to-day. I administer a lot of computer brands, and support a wide ecosystem.
