Find your Dell's model number.

There are four ways to locate your Dell laptop's model number. Pick whichever is easiest — then get an instant trade-in quote in seconds.

Method 1

Check the bottom panel.

The model number is on the underside of your Dell laptop. On some newer models it's etched directly into the chassis rather than on a label.

  1. 1

    Flip your laptop over

    Power off and close the lid, then turn the laptop upside down on a soft surface.

  2. 2

    Read the label or etching

    Find the line marked Model — for example Latitude 7420. On newer models it may be etched directly into the bottom case.

Method 2

Use System Information.

Prefer to do it on-screen? Windows shows both your model number and processor type in two clicks.

  1. 1

    Search for "System Information"

    Click the Windows icon in the taskbar and type System Information.

  2. 2

    Open the top result

    A window opens with your system summary. The System Model is all you need for a quote, and the Processor is listed in the same window.

Method 3

Check Windows Settings.

Windows 10 and 11 list your device details under the About page.

  1. 1

    Open Settings

    Open the Settings app (the gear icon) from the Start menu.

  2. 2

    Go to System → About

    Navigate to System › About — your model is often displayed there alongside the device specs.

Method 4

Check the BIOS / UEFI.

A reliable fallback if Windows won't load — the model is listed in firmware. Still have the original box? The model is usually printed on the side too.

  1. 1

    Restart and press F2

    Restart your computer and press F2 once the Dell logo appears to open the BIOS/UEFI setup.

  2. 2

    Open System Information

    Look for a System Information section (or similar) where the model number is listed.
