Find out the mainboard serial number in the registry
There are often badges or imprints on mainboards showing the manufacturer, model name and serial number. You can easily find this information without having to unscrew the computer.
Mainboard information via Reg Edit
- Enter "regedit" in the start menu.
- Then navigate to the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Hardware \ Description \ System \ BIOS".
- In the right window, Windows now shows you the mainboard manufacturer, the serial number and the BIOS version that is just as frequently required.
