Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to found Original Install Date which means when the OS installed using this package. I can found this info from the output of command systeminfo execution.

I tried to execute npx systeminformation and not found such info in the output.

@liudonghua123 Currently this information is not available in the systeminformation package but this is a good idea! I will think of implementing it ... will let you know, when I have a solution.

I go through the code and found this line.

https://github.com/sebhildebrandt/systeminformation/blob/5c5efe269eb0eedcb985a3e4be14652e37e75a3b/lib/osinfo.js#L342C40-L342C40

I can get InstallDate from Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem.

> Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem | select Caption,SerialNumber,BuildNumber,ServicePackMajorVersion,ServicePackMinorVersion,InstallDate


Caption                 : Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Education
SerialNumber            : 00380-00000-00001-AA229
BuildNumber             : 22631
ServicePackMajorVersion : 0
ServicePackMinorVersion : 0
InstallDate             : 2022/10/8 21:05:04

And for linux (maybe macos or more general *nix too), I can use stat command to get the installed date.

[root@localhost ~]# stat -c %w / 
2020-02-11 13:12:07.443813000 +0800
[root@localhost ~]# stat -c %w / | awk '{print $1}'
2020-02-11
[root@localhost ~]#
