Command

$ Get-ComputerInfo

02What it does

Get-ComputerInfo merges dozens of Win32_* WMI classes into one object: BIOS version, secure boot state, RAM module counts, chassis type, Hyper-V status and more. Because output is an object, you can filter precisely, e.g. `Get-ComputerInfo -Property Bios*` for firmware only. It complements systeminfo, which prints a fixed text report.
