For a laptop, the serial number will likely be found on the underside of the chassis. Running the systeminfo. So, the better way to check via systeminfo. For mine, it says American Megatrends Inc.
That is pretty close to the date that I built my computer and is close enough to give a good idea of how old the computer is. If you have updated your BIOS since you have purchased your computer, though, that might not give an accurate date. Another way that can give you a rough estimate of how old your computer is is to check what CPU you have and then see when that CPU was first manufactured. New CPUs come out every year or so, but some computer manufacturers do use older generation processors in their budget-oriented systems and there is the possibility that the system you bought sat on a shelf or—if you bought it online—in stock for any given amount of time.
But, generally, checking your CPUs original release date can at least give you a ballpark range of how old your computer is—especially if you cross-check it with the methods listed in this guide. So, beware of taking the oldest file in your C: drive and assuming that was the date your system was manufactured.
Ultimately, finding out how old your computer is can be as simple as checking the serial code of the system, punching it into Google, and seeing approximately when it was manufactured. Or, it can be as difficult as using the other three methods listed above and cross-checking them to get a general idea of when your system was built. Your email address will not be published.
Seems to function well enough though. The year is left out for some weird reason? I found the date I placed the computer in service using the first topic listed.
There is a lot of information and numbers that can be discovered from that first page. I could not remember how to print the entire page from DOS so I copied down what I wanted to post with a pen and paper.
I would like to know how to transfer all that data to notepad. Right click anywhere on the dos screen.

Your first reaction when discovering your PC won't start is probably to panic, but the issue often isn't catastrophic. It's likely a mundane and easily fixable glitch.
There are a lot of reasons why your computer won't turn on, and a lot of definitions of "won't turn on," ranging from "nothing is happening at all" to "Windows won't start properly.
Below are the 10 most common solutions for getting your computer up and running with that spectrum of problems in mind. If you try to turn on your computer and absolutely nothing happens, there are generally only two possibilities. Either the computer's internal power supply has failed, in which case it probably needs to be replaced, or there's no electricity entering your PC.
Unplug the computer from wherever it's currently plugged in and plug it directly into a wall outlet, bypassing the UPS, surge suppressor, or power strip. If nothing still happens, make sure that outlet works by plugging something else into it, like a desk lamp, and confirming it turns on.
This is highly unlikely, but it's an easy fix. If you have a spare power cord available, swap it out. If the original cord has failed, your computer should restart with the new cable. If the computer that won't work is a laptop and you recently ran the computer out of juice, then it's not unusual for it to fail to start even if it's now plugged into wall power. Plug the laptop in and let the battery charge for at least a half-hour.
Then try turning it on again. Some computer motherboards issue a set of beeps at startup. A single beep may signal that all is well, while a long, continuous tone could point to the power supply experiencing a critical fault. There's no single standard set of codes, but the beeps can sound like Morse Code, with long and short tones. Check the computer's user guide, website, or tech support service to figure out what the error is pointing to.
If your computer appears to be running — or it's at least making some noise — but nothing appears on the screen, ensure the monitor is turned on and connected to the computer.
It's also worth checking to make sure the brightness didn't get accidentally set to zero. If it's an option, try plugging the computer into a different display to see if that resolves the problem. If your computer appears to do something but isn't proceeding to boot to Windows, there are several possibilities as to why.
You may even see instructions on the screen at startup that tell you which key to press. Once you're in the BIOS or UEFI, make sure the computer is set up to boot to your primary hard drive , disable Fast Boot, and look for any other unusual settings that might be causing startup problems. If you can get to your computer's BIOS, you might also be able to get to Windows' special boot options.
