System Information

Power up your system and press F2 at the Dell BIOS screen to enter the BIOS setup.

In the BIOS setup there should be a category called System Highlight it and press Enter to expand it.

Note: The mouse/touchpad isn't present in the BIOs setup, you will have to use the keyboard arrow keys to move between the fields.

System Info

 

Here you will get your Dell Model, Service Tag and BIOs version.

Processor Info

This field tells you information about your processor. It generally gives the processor ID which is kind of limited. It also tells you how fast the processor is and the speed it is currently running at.

This is kind of limited, it should tell you the model number of the processor as well as the processor ID.

It also doesn't state what processors are compatible.

Memory Info

This field tells you how much memory you have and how fast the memory runs at.

This is quite limited also as it doesn't tell you the memory in either slot.

It doesn't state the type of memory and the maximum supported either.

Device Info

This field can be really useful:

 

Take note of the fields in the red. The size of the hard drive, the Video Controller, the Audio Controller, the Wi-Fi Device, the Cellular Device and the Bluetooth Device. It is worth noting all these down when reinstalling the drivers. Particularly if Original System Configuration isn't giving you all the detail you need and if the Service Tag isn't displaying all the drivers.

Battery Health

Just tells you if the battery is performing normally or not.

Date/Time

You may alter the date/time here.

Exit

To exit press esc and then select exit.
