Remember when *operating systems* came with a handbook? Not just a new PC… *And* a hardware compatibility list in Windows NT 4.0’s case. Sorry for making you feel old. :D #retroComputing
I almost don’t wanna throw these away, but I really don’t need them anymore. Not even as a curio.
Also, have fun with that Win95 product ID. 🤡

Were they tied to a particular OEM and could only be used with a particular distro in Windows 95 times or was that introduced in XP? 🤔
I can vaguely remember you could turn your distro/build into Pan European one just by editing an .inf file in Windows 95 though — so maybe this could be worked around too 😅
@m0xee That sounds like something Microsoft only figured out later on. But who knows, we’re old now… We don’t remember everything correctly anymore. 🙈
I also never figured out whether it was true that you could activate Windows [2000, I think?] by just entering 25 Sevens as your product key, or if was just an urban legend. Ah, memories.
