If you need to determine the serial number of a hard disk drive (HDD)
attached to a Microsoft Windows system, you can do so from a
PowerShell
window using the cmdlet Get-Disk (you can open a
PowerShell window by typing PowerShell in the Windows "Type here to
search field on a Windows 10 system and then selecting the app when it is
returned in the list of search results). If you just want a list of drives
attached to the system by a USB
connection, you can pipe
the output of the cmdlet to the
Where-Object cmdlet where you can filter on just drives that have a USB
connection as shown below.
