Any plans to make this compatible with PowerShell 7.x? I get the error "Get-WmiObject: The term 'Get-WmiObject' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program" when running under PowerShell 7

I was able to run it under PowerShell v7.3.6 (Elevated) with no issue. Both to the local machine, and to a remote machine. Remote took a wee bit longer, but not terrible. Hats off to the dev for the great utility.

I am not able to install this with the command mentioned. new to powershell; all I get is "no math was found for the specified search criteria and package name 'GetBIOS'.
