I wiped out my computer before taking note of its serial number. How do i get to the serial number? I'm not IT savvy and would need step by step instructions. Your help would be most appreciated.

Always Verify -- Use Terminal, while in Recovery Mode:
Get a Macs Serial Number from the Command Line - OSXDaily
You can always look underneath the computer. But, to verify you are reading it correctly, use Terminal, while booted into Recovery Mode The cover could always be changed too; you never know.
So...
ioreg -l | grep IOPlatformSerialNumber
The Retuin Output would be something like:
"IOPlatformSerialNumber" = "1234567890abc"
So your Serial Number, would therefore be: 1234567890abc

It is written on the bottom case of the computer.
Turn it over.
