Microsoft deprecated WMIC in Windows Server 2012 (in 2016) and in Windows 10 21H1 (2021). Redmond converted it into a Feature on Demand (FoD) starting with Windows 11 22H2 (in 2022) and announced in January 2024 that it would be removed altogether after first disabling it by default.Sep 16, 2025

All is not lost.

In Powershell:

Code: 
get-ciminstance win32_bios | select SerialNumber
