- Type “Powershell” and hit Enter. Then, copy this command and click Enter:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | Format-Table –AutoSize

- That will display the list of programs you have installed on your machine.

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate | Format-Table –AutoSize > c:\users\*yourname*\desktop\installedprograms.txt

Here is how the .txt file should look:
