Get-BiosType not available

[superbonaci]

Using PowerShell 7.0.0. My script doesn't work because a command is missing:

PS C:\> Get-BiosType
Get-BiosType: The term 'Get-BiosType' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I don't have that command in PS7 or Windows PowerShell. Can you post the output of Get-Command Get-BiosType from Windows PowerShell?

@superbonaci So you don't have the command in Windows PowerShell either? You may want to reach out to the script author to see where to get the command. Either way it's not a command provided by PowerShell so there's not much this repo can do.

It's used in this script:

@superbonaci gotcha, so what you want to do is file an issue on that repo so they can determine if someone is actually incompatible or if it's a script problem.
