Convert the linux command to Cim windows command - wmic

Question

What is the equivalent command using Cim instance ?
wmic cpu list /format:list

Answer 1

With Powershell , you can use like this :
Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor
If you want to get all infos about CPU, you can use this command :
Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor | Select *
And if you want to get and choose a specific property, just type this command to look what you want to select as property :
Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor | Get-Member
