This wikiHow teaches you how to find the 7-digit Service Tag for your Dell product. The service tag is exclusive to your product and is usually required when receiving customer support. All modern Dell products have a Service Tag sticker somewhere on the product, though the sticker may wear off over time. If your computer or tablet don't have a legible sticker, you can still find the Service Tag using Windows, Linux, or Android.

1. 1

2. 2 Find the sticker on a desktop PC. You'll usually find a white sticker on the back of the tower/case near the top. You may also find a black sticker with white lettering on the top of the unit. Either of these locations should display a 7-digit alphanumeric code beside or below the words "Service Tag" or "Serial Number" (on older models).

- If you're using an All-in-One PC, look for a white sticker with black letters on the back of the monitor, near the bottom.

3. 3 Find the sticker on a printer. Lifting the scanner lid on most All-in-One models will reveal a black sticker with white text with the words "Service Tag." If you have an older model, look for a large white sticker with a bar code on the backside of the unit or in the toner/ink cartridge bay. The Service Tag is 7-digits and contains both letters and numbers.

5. 5 Find the sticker on a tablet. The sticker is a black label with white letters on the back of the tablet. The 7-digit alphanumeric code next to "Service Tag" is the one you'll need to receive support.

6. 6 Find the sticker on a projector. The black sticker with white text is usually on the underside of the projector. If you don't see a sticker there, it's in the storage bag that came with the projector. Just look for the words "Service Tag" or "Serial Number" to find the 7-digit alphanumeric Service Tag code.

7. 1 Open SupportAssist. SupportAssist comes pre-installed on most Dell PCs and tablets running Windows. You'll usually find it in the Start menu under All Programs > Dell.
