Where is the serial number on an Xbone located, can it be defaced or removed easily, and if it is removed, can I access the serial after booting the system?

This is regarding a criminal investigation. I have the digits for a system reported stolen but I want to be able to identify it quickly if it is still in possession when I approach the suspect.

If there isn't one on a sticker near the back or underneath I believe there is one in the system settings section.

The serial number for your Xbox One console is located in two places: On the sticker on the bottom of the console. On the Console Info & updates screen in Settings (along with the console ID, as described in the previous section).

It's hardly that, it's probably pawned by now anyway.

However, if I stole one and it was attached by a sticker only, the first thing I would do be to rip it off. Just seeing if it can be other locations as well. I also don't know anybody who owns an Xbox 1.

The PC master race doesn't have to deal with console plebeians except when they commit crimes

Thanks for the answers.

Sometimes the bone is in the X
