Open a Command Prompt by going to Start and opening “cmd”. You will then be presented with a command prompt window, where you need to type the systeminfo command below:

C:\> systeminfo | find "Boot"
System Boot Time:          05/06/2013, 12:55:07

tasklist /v | find "Idle"

On Windows 7, tasklist will output something (ugly and wrapped) such as:

System Idle Process              0 Services                   0         24 K Unk
nown         NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM                                   449:12:23 N/A

Which in this case means 449 hours (almost 20 days) of system-idle since the last reboot. Of course, this is a rough approximation of time since reboot; it doesn't include actual useful CPU-time.

Use

net statistics workstation | find "Statistics since"

or

net statistics server      | find "Statistics since"

These commands can be abbreviated “net stats work” or “net stats srv”.
