Moving batch files to a Windows-11 laptop.

Show all headers | View raw

 Good morning,

Have updated to a new computer running windows 11.
The following bat file will not work on it.
Lots of googling, there is no longer wmic and that I must use powershell.
Looking at many posts on stackoverflow.com I still dont get it.
Please write me something I can put in a batch file.

Sun 01/18/2026 10:14:23 C:\tmp >cpdas aaa.txt

Sun 01/18/2026 10:14:23 C:\tmp >copy "aaa.txt" "C:\tmp\aaa-20260118-1014-23.txt"
        1 file(s) copied.
Sun 01/18/2026 10:14:23 C:\tmp >

8<--- old script

  @echo off
  for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%I in ('wmic os get localdatetime /format:list') do set datetime=%%I
  set datetime=%datetime:~0,8%-%datetime:~8,4%-%datetime:~12,2%
  @echo on

  copy "%1" "%~dpn1-%datetime%%~x1"

--->8

Thanks,
