If you need to obtain information regarding the BIOS in a system running a Microsoft Windows operating system (OS), you can do so from a command prompt using the
wmic
command. E.g. to obtain the BIOS version,
you can use wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion
. You can also use
the wmic bios get biosversion
command, which may also
show the BIOS date, depending on the BIOS manufacturer. Other commands that
you can run are systeminfo | find "BIOS"
and msinfo32
.
The latter command will open a window showing BIOS information along with a
plethora of other information.
