model identification without serial/model number

help anyone know a sight I could use to visually identify the model of my dell pc? salvaged during rental property cleanup all numbers missing or damaged...Google'sconfused no help pshh:confused

 

If the PC will start up and connect to the Internet, you can go to www.dell.com, click on the "support" option and go to "drivers and downloads". There is an option for a download that allows Dell to automatically identify the model #, serial # and service code #.

Hope this helps.

 

If you can boot the computer into BIOS, you should be able to get the serial number (service tag number) from there. Then go to the Dell Support site and it should list what was included in the PC when shipped and you'll be able to download drivers and manuals for the PC.

 

As mdonah noted, Dell uses "Service Tag" numbers to ID their computers. If you can find that number on a sticker somewhere on or in the case, it will tell you everything about that specific computer (not just the model - but everything about that computer, including all options). Otherwise, you might try a hardware/system information program like Speccy (from the makers of CCleaner), or Belarc Advisor.

 

As Digerati said you can use Speccy. Speccy will find and list the Product Key of the Windows installation in it's report.

If you should ever need to post that report in a forum or elsewhere, make sure to delete that line in your posted report to prevent an unscrupulous person from using it and messing up your activation/registration.
