Hi:

 

Look at the 4th, 5th and 6th characters of the serial number.

 

They will be numbers.

 

The 4th is the year of manufacture (0 - 9)

 

The 5th and 6th are the week of manufacture (01 - 52).

 

For example, if the 4th, 5th and 6th characters of the serial number are 123, then your PC was manufactured in 1991, 2001, 2011 or 2021 during the 23rd week of the year.

 

To figure out the year of manufacture, you have to either have a general idea of what year you acquired the PC, or what hardware (processor, graphics, memory, etc.) was around during those years compared to the hardware your PC comes with).
