How to get BIOS serialnumber with WMIC command

Whenever I use the command line below

wmic bios get serialnumber

It outputs the BIOS Serial number with my laptop.

However, I've tried that command line to get BIOS serial number with my company's PC, I didn't work a bit.

Here was the output:

C:\Users\companypc>wmic bios get serialnumber
SerialNumber
System Serial Number

So how can I get the BIOS Serial with that problem...

If you have changed a board, and also not all BIOS codes are actually pre-entered. In that case it is necessary to boot into the BIOS of a machine with that issue, and enter it manually (from reading it off of the hardware itself.)

In other words, if the machine is not very old, the response you are getting is the default response when no value is set (null).
