How Can I Find the History of My Dell Computer?

The history of your computer provides manufacturer, serial and model information. This information is useful in a variety of ways, including when you are finding compatible hardware and buying new software to install. The history of a computer is different from a web-browser history. A web-browser history keeps track of internet activity and visited websites. The system information, including processor and memory size, are found in a computer's history.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Start" icon, located on your Dell's desktop.

2. Right-click on the "My Computer" icon and select "Properties." A window will open with your computer's history and system information.

3. Scroll down to the "System" information. Your Dell's history and setup will be available. Information such as System type, Memory and Processor is useful when you are upgrading components or installing new software. Manufacturer history will show a Dell, while the computer model is the particular model type of your computer and its registered serial number. This historical information is useful when contacting Dell for support or warranty issues.
