How do I find the instalation date of a operating system?

Set the view to details. Go to the view menu, select "Choose details," and
add "Date created."

Now look at the date created of the \Windows folder.

If XP Pro, open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK |
Type: systeminfo | Hit Enter |
Scroll up to Original Install Date:

systeminfo
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmb_tol_eufm.asp

systeminfo
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/systeminfo.mspx

If XP Home, see the Created Date for folder Properties for C:\WINDOWS or
C:\WINNT.
