Task: to find the installation date of the Windows operating system (doesn't matter whether it's desktop or server).
To do this, we'll use the systeminfo command: open a CMD window (Start -> Run -> "CMD") and enter this command:
C:\> systeminfo
Host Name: MYCOMPUTER
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional
OS Version: 6.1.7600 N/A Build 7600
OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation
OS Configuration: Standalone Workstation
OS Build Type: Multiprocessor Free
Registered Owner: Reagent
Registered Organization:
Product ID: 00426-OEM-8992662-00006
Original Install Date: 30.05.2011, 16:11:11
System Boot Time: 20.08.2011, 1:02:13
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: P35-S3
System Type: X86-based PC
As you can see - the installation date is written in plain text - the line is even labeled that way.
The command is the same: both for Windows XP/Server 2003, and for the newer Windows Vista/7/Server 2008.
