on my system the creation date of system.ini and win.ini files was the date when Windows was installed initially

Another way is to look at the list of installed programs. Especially a device driver or device software that was likely to be installed when windows was installed.

The Windows folder created date may not be an accurate indication as to when Windows was installed. I installed Windows 10 on a laptop, on 8/18/2020, using the iso upgrade disc created from a Microsoft download. However, the Windows folder shows a created date of 12/7/2019. I assume that is the date that Microsoft created the folder for their iso file.

If you use CCleaner and click on Uninstall it shows you a list of programs, including the install dates. Sort these dates and the oldest one is probably also the one that you installed Windows 10. The other methods are not always proven because Windows 10 upgrades its ‘core’ also, like in my case right now, I have 1903, which was installed in January 2020, but my oldest program in CCleaner was installed in April 2016. So CCleaner can give you a good indication.

my computer has negative color problem. How to get the correction or return to default?
Or reinstall the window 10 ? how to re install?
As a 78 yrs old senior and English is my 2nd language, all these information are helpful but I can not remember them.
Please show your method by using technical writing rule with each step identified in numbers in a seperate paragraph.

Della,
1. Click the Start Button in the lower left corner of your screen (looks like a window tilted diagonally a little bit)
2. Type the words “high contrast” (without quotes).
3. Select the option at the top that says “Turn high contrast on or off”
4. Under the heading at the top that says “Use High Contrast”, check to see if the area that says “Turn on high contrast” is set to “On”.
If it’s set to “On” click that button that says “on”, and that should turn it off, which should return the color configuration back to normal.
very useful, thank you!
I’m glad you found this article useful. 😀

I would like to re-install Office 2016
And what is stopping you from doing that?
