If you have a Microsoft Surface 3 or 4how-to-find-the-serial-number-of-a-surface-4-3-wmi-query-powershell (and likely 2 or any other computer with the Serial Number stored in the UEFI BIOS), you can determine the BIOS Version and Serial Number through a simple command line:

  1. Launch a POWERSHELL as an Administrator
  2. Enter the following two commands in order:
    $query = “Select * from Win32_Bios”
    Get-WmiObject -Query $query
  3. Have a nice day

You can just use

get-wmiobject win32_bios

Unless you’re going to reuse the query multiple times, it makes zero sense to use the above..

Thanks for this

Although this can be shortened to one line
Get-WmiObject -Query “Select * from Win32_Bios”
