Ever wanted to find out how long you installed Windows before you wipe it out. Sometimes, I find myself reintstalling Windows, because I want a “fresh” start, but then I have to go back and restore my settings and installed programs…But that’s fine.<\/p>\n
Anyways, to find out how long you’ve had Windows installed, open up a command prompt. On the desktop, do the following:<\/p>\n
1) Shift+Right Click on the desktop, and you will see “Open command window here”
\n2) Click on it, and you will see a command prompt with the directory pointing at Desktop
\n3) We want it to point at system32, so we will do the next few steps below
\n4) Type “cd ..” and enter, about three times, until you get to C:>
\n5) Now type in “cd windows\/system32” and press enter
\n6) Now we are pointed at C:WindowsSystem32>
\n7) Type in “systeminfo”
\n8) You will now get a screen of information in the command prompt
\n9) You will want to look at “Original Install Time”<\/p>\n
That’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
