How to check when was the last time my computer was switched on?

Question

Recently I went on holidays and hid my laptop from my flatmate under my bed. I did not want her to use it during my absence. When I came back I had an impression that it has been moved and I was wandering if there is any possibility to check when was the last time it was being used. 
Thank you for your help!

go to control panel > administrative options > event viewer

look at the timings of the events, this will tell you when your computer had events and therefore when your computer was switched on!

i presume you want to find out if someone has used your computer when they weren't supposed to?

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.pcboostcleaner.com

It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.
