How to get serial number of laptop from Command Prompt

Hi friends, recently one of my friend was asking about how to know the serial number of his laptop as his sticker pasted on the back of laptop has been ruined and was not visible from there.

So there is a remedy for that a small command you can run over your command prompt to know the serial number whether its a Dell, Compaq ,Hp or Acer laptop. (Brand doesn't matter only platform matters that it should be Windows)

In the Run windows (Windows + R) type "cmd" and press enter to open the command prompt window.
On cmd window write the following command :
>wmic bios get serialnumber (Press enter)

Voila you will get the serial number of your laptop.
Its a simple way to know your laptop's serial number instead of turning it around while you are working.

WMIC stands for Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line.
