Finding Install Date of Windows

Reid Cooper

Have a Windows 7 laptop here, does anyone know of a way to figure out when the OS was installed? Not critical, but interested to find out and not sure if that gets recorded anywhere.

Need leading text...

PS > $os = get-wmiobject win32_operatingsystem
PS > $os.ConvertToDateTime($os.InstallDate) -f "MM/dd/yyyy"

Edit: For some reason the code indent isn't working.

Fixed it for you. The indent can't be the first line.

Really? Wow that seems odd. I will remember that in the future.
