First date of use?

[ScubaChase]

I want to know the first time this computer was used, how do I come about doing this?

( OS: windows 7 home premium )

Why do you want to know this?

[dalekphalm]

It's probably impossible to check the first time, EVER, the hardware was used. MAYBE a special service-mode in the bios might contain such info, but I've never heard of it.

 

In terms of Within Windows itself, assuming Windows was never re-installed or the HDD otherwise formatted/replaced? Not sure. I've never had a reason to check this, ever.

If it havn't been formatted, then you could look at the creation date of the Windows folder. Or go into the the systemtools, under logbook - windows-logger (not sure if that what they're actually called on the english version) and look for the first entries made there.
