I want to use my pc's ServiceTag as output but i need to delete "SerialNumber" text first.

$tag = wmic bios get serialnumber    
$tag

Output:

SerialNumber

JPX9832X31Z

i need JPX9832X31Z as $tag

In addition to the provided answer, you can use $tag = (get-ciminstance -classname win32_bios).SerialNumber — Sage Pourpre

When I run wmic.exe /? on Windows 10, the message appears "WMIC is deprecated." Use Get-CimInstance. (Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_BIOS).SerialNumber — lit

The easiest solution would be to split the string based on new line and select the 2nd index.

$WMiResult = wmic bios get serialnumber
$tag = ($WMiResult -split "\n")[2]
$tag

Alternatively you can also use Select-Object Cmdlet.

$tag = wmic bios get serialnumber | Select-Object -Index 2
