Powershell Get Serial Number

< 1 min read

As the WMIC utility is now deprecated, CMI (CIM cmdlets for PowerShell) has replaced it. Previously, to view the serial number of a Windows device, you would run the following command:

wmic bios get serial number

Now, this can be replaced with the following, using PowerShell:

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_BIOS

Still stuck? How can we help?
