If your Mac's Boot Camp Assistant is NEWER than 5.1.4 you can try to use it to create your install disk. It copies your Windows 10 ISO file to the USB Flash Drive in a format that can be booted from. Boot Camp Assistant is installed on all Macs and can be found in your Utilities folder. If your MacBook won’t turn on, there is still an easy way to find your serial number. Turn over your MacBook and find the serial number imprinted on the computer. Right below the bold text identifying what type of MacBook you are using, you will see a bunch of numbers including assembly location and a bunch of compliance/FCC information. Reboot the Mac to complete the installation. After the reboot, launch EDIUS. When first launching EDIUS, the serial number registration key input dialog box will be seen. Input the serial number and select “Register.”.

This tip replaces version 2126 originally released on the Discussions Feedback forum.

Find the serial number on:

Plug your serial number in at this link:

Do not use third party links as they may not be secure. Do not post the serial number on this board, as that is your key to any support you may have left.Use this tip also to help figure out which portion of the Support Community to post in, as this tip explains:

When you have no serial number, use one of these third party sites to find your model, production year, time in year(early, middle, late) http://www.everymac.com/ is a great resource to isolate your model based on EMC#, Apple part number, and other features.

Note:PowerMac, PowerPC, eMac, iMac PPC, iBook (Apple recycled the name iBook for its eBook application on new Macs and iOS devices), Powerbook, Classic all refer to Macs that are older than the present seriesof Macs. Posting in those forums about a current Mac, shows you have not researched your Mac sufficiently to get a succinct answer to your query. Apple menu -> About This Mac will tell you the Mac OS version or System version you are running. The X in the version is important, and so is the preceding 10 in the version if it exists.Questions saying X.1 could refer to Mac OS X 10.13.1, 10.1. Don't truncate the version you see.

There are no iOS forums specific to the operating system found on iPads, iPod Touch, AppleTV, Apple Watch, and iPhones. Figure out the type of portable device you are running to ask a question about that device specifically.

Apple has these identifying articles as well:
