Hi fellow Tom's Hardware experts,

My boss recently asked me to check when (date & time) was the current driver for a NIC was installed and what are the previous version number? Is there any method to get the info in Windows 7 without relying on any 3rd party application? If I remember correctly, we can get some info from Window Restore service but unfortunately all the computers in our organization disabled the service. Any advice and suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks wpgwpg for your suggestion, but I still can't find the date when was the driver installed and info about the previous driver version prior to update.

Once again, thanks for your reply wpgwpg. I think you misunderstood my question:

Yes, we can see the driver date (driver release date - not driver installation date)

Yes, we can see the driver version (current driver version - not the previous driver version)

My question is:
1. How to check the date of driver installation (when was the current driver installed, not when was the current driver released)?

2. What was the driver version before I update to the current driver (previous version instead of the current version displayed in device manager)?

Hope that clarifies. Thank you.
