    I just purchased and received the y500 and I am going to upgrade the warranty on it but online, the lenovo web site, needs a serial number and a machine type. What is that and how can I find it.

    Go on the website the Warranty Email provided and follow the instructions. It is stupid easy.

    The serial number for your system is located behind the battery.
