Hi there, how do you find the time and date of windows license keys?

Could you clarify what you are looking for? A license key does not have a time and date like a file. It is simply a string of numbers and letters.

Or are you looking for something like when Windows was first installed? A good guess can be found in File Explorer by looking at the date and time a folder was created, usually the oldest will be the closest. Folder dates can change with Version Upgrades and some Build updates so look in Users for other than the one signed in and in Program Files and/or Program Files (x86) but some never get changed. Since no two computers are not exactly the same it's hard to specify one to look at but maybe Downloads, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos.

Ah, yes, Berton. Maybe that is what is being sought.
Here is how I determine when Windows was installed:
Open a command prompt.
Run this command:
Code:systeminfo | find /i "Install Date"

I checked your code but only gives me the info on when Version 2004 was installed [June '20] but I got the machine back in Oct. '19.
I should mention my Upgrade was from the USB Thumb drive made by the MCT process.

To see a summary of all previous installations of Windows:
The following registry key contains this information:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
To get a nice clean output of the information in the registry, paste the following into a PowerShell prompt and hit ENTER:
Sample:Code:Get-ChildItem -Path HKLM:\System\Setup\Source* | ForEach-Object {Get-ItemProperty -Path Registry::$_} | Select-Object ProductName, ReleaseID, CurrentBuild, @{n="Install Date"; e={([DateTime]'1/1/1970').AddSeconds($_.InstallDate)}} | Sort-Object "Install Date"
If I had more installations that I had upgraded over, they would also be listed.
