  1. Hardware Fingerprint


    I would like to know where to look for my computer's hardware fingerprint. Every way I try to type in "hardware fingerprint" I get messages about fingerprint readers. I even tried the virtual agent who thought that " Where would I find my computer's hardware fingerprint" meant that I was having a problem with cortana, can't understand that my computer has a hardware fingerprint---and I just want to know where it can be found.

    Can anyone tell me what button to click to get into the window that lists my hardware fingerprint?

    :)
