Thanks Grumpy but I still can`t figure out how - Do I just click on the Windows folder and look at the date from the left pane or Status bar? Or do I have to browse around the Properties dialog box? Please tell me more

Browse to C:\ and right click on the Windows folder. Choose Properties and you'll see the Created Date.

WMIC - command-line tool
Click Start, Run and type:

CMD /K WMIC OS GET InstallDate

You'll see the Operating System installation date (in WMI format). The first eight characters in that output gives you the installation date.

InstallDate
20100630200927.000000+330
