I am having hard time to find the manufacture date of my Surface Laptop. All the methods I found on the internet turned out to be unhelpful.
I tried these methods:
1.System Information
2.In cmd systeminfo | findstr /I /c:bios
I really doubt that this is the correct manufacture date :)
3.In cmd systeminfo|find /i “Original Install Date”
This seems to be the date I reinstalled Windows after failing to install Ubuntu on the laptop.
4.Pressing “Win + R,” typing regedit
In the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Hardware/Description/System I get:
But the information is missing the field SystemBiosDate
How can I see the manufacture date of my Surface laptop.
P.S. I followed the instructions on this post: https://www.maketecheasier.com/get-bios-version-information-in-windows
What about the warranty end date in the Surface App? (from the microsoft store)
If the original warranty is a year, and it ended on 16/12/2020, then take a year off?
There are two PowerShell commands you could try, but I suspect they may give the same output as your systeminfo command
wmic os get installdate
or
([WMI]'').ConvertToDateTime((Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem).InstallDate)
likewise, for the BIOS
Get-WmiObject win32_bios
If you are able to check lot number, which is written on the sticker, the first two digits are production year and the second is the week of the year.

I´m using a school computer, so I don´t own administrator permissions.
anyway I want to launch the command line, but since the school pc´s are restricted I don´t have the permission to install or launch software like terminal, powershell, system settings.
I´m sure that somehow I can create a batch file that allows me to open the shell, but since I don´t know DOS, I don´t exactly know how.
please help me, I´m not a hacker and don´t wanna damage the school computer system, It´s for ethical purpose only, but it could be useful to hit on girls XD.
Ok, I found it:
#echo off
:loop
set /p _cmd= “%CD%>”
%_cmd%
goto :loop

My windows application tries to parse the command result of command line tools and it works well in English language pack.
However, I was wondering if when customer is using a different language pack so if the result of the command is in Japanese/Chinese/Korean, I think I should modify the parsing logic accordingly.
I think this approach doesn't seem to be a right direction.
Is there any way to force English output ?
First of all you are not talking to MS-DOS because this is its own operating system. Windows no longer is build on a DOS base, the last versions that did so were Windows 95 and 98 I think.
You are calling command line commands / executables of Windows and they can't be forced to use all English. Perhaps you can interpret the return code and detect an error this way. Some tools can be forced to return csv (wmic for example) but I don't think sc can be.
My suggestion is that you search SO for a solution how to call the CreateService from your programming language.

I want to ask, if I format my computer (currently running windows10 genuine) and use some other OS for a while and then again install windows10, will I be able to reactivate my windows with the same key which is working currently on my pc ?
That should work just fine, provided you can install the same version. A key for Home won't work on Pro and vice versa, and there are also OEM versions and Volume License versions, so make sure which exact version you have.
If you have an installation CD or an ISO for the right edition (the one you have the key for) you'll be fine. You can re-install from that CD multiple times.
If Windows came preinstalled, you'd better make an image of the hard drive which you can restore later.

I installed Windows Server 2003 on one of my machines. It was a long back machine and the OS was also installed long back. Its RAM is 4GB.
Until 4 days back the machine was fine and providing services. But recently its graphics got problem. Only command prompt is working. If I open Windows Explorer through "explorer.exe" through command prompt, the window gets opened but no graphics would be displayed. It is showing black desktop.
The machine is currently running as a development server. Could anyone please suggest and help me in making the machine run perfectly?
Somehow I found the answer. I killed the process explorer.exe with the help of below commands
> tasklist
> TaskKill /F /IM explorer.exe
and started the process with the below command
> explorer.exe
It should resolve the issue at this point. If not, logoff the machine and login back. It should definitely show the result.

Well, I screwed up big time today. The long and the short of it is that I spilled water on my MacBook Pro and the motherboard is shot. However, the hard drive seems to be okay. So I plugged the SATA cable into my PC, win 7 32bit, however I cannot find the drive. I just wanna copy some stuff over. Does anyone have any ideas?
You need to download a driver for windows to view the mac file system... search for an HFS+ driver
Even better, goto an Apple Support community :-)
One example:

there are plenty of others. I used one at home for winXP to write to hfs+
