I wonder what sort of serialnumber wmic bios get serialnumber Windows commad actually gives you?

Is it serial number of your motherboard? Documentation is not clear about it.

the wmic bios get serialnumber command call the Win32_BIOS wmi class and get the value of the SerialNumber property, which retrieves the serial number of the BIOS Chip of your system.

    And to further clarify, Win32_BIOS gets that information from the SMBIOS tables in the BIOS. It is generally up to the system manufacturer to populate these tables with valid data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_BIOS – myron-semack Jan 06 '14 at 15:01

    Is it wise to use this as a unique machine-identifier? – Aykhan Hagverdili Feb 25 '19 at 16:28

run cmd

Enter wmic baseboard get product,version,serialnumber

Press the enter key. The result you see under serial number column is your motherboard serial number

wmic bios get serialnumber

if run from a command line (start-run should also do the trick) prints out on screen the Serial Number of the product,
(for example in a toshiba laptop it would print out the serial number of the laptop.
with this serial number you can then identify your laptop model if you need ,from the makers service website-usually..:):)

I had to do exactly that.:):)
