Apart from checking the computer pack or hardware component. In this article, we shall discuss how to find BIOS Serial Number and System Information on Windows 11.

The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Command-Line Utility is one of the notable commands for finding out the serial number of your system. Although, in this post, we’re going to try out other commands. In this article, you will learn how to find BIOS Serial Number and System Information on Windows 11.

The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Command-Line Utility (WMIC) is a command-line utility that allows users to perform WMI operations from a command prompt. An interface called WMI offers a number of Windows management features.

To view the BIOS Serial Number, run:

$ wmic bios get serialnumber

 Note: Sometimes checking your BIOS serial number using the above command can fail. If that that happens, your PC might not have a serial number, or it might not have been saved correctly. Try checking the packaging, documentation, or the hardware components of your computer instead.

Another method of finding out the serial number of your system is by running the command below:

get-wmiobject Win32_BIOS
