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.
