Dear Sir or madam, I purchased a used computer with Windows NT 4.0 as the operating system, unfortunately, there was no product ID code for it. Is there a way I can look this up under a registry or under "System Properties??? Are there any crack codes for something like this??? Thanks

Technically, if you do not have the piece of paper that is the Microsoft license for NT, you do not have a "legal" operating system.

You should find the serial number on the general page of system properties.

In the registry, at loacation
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion
you should find the information on the product ID, product Key, registered user, and such.

You could try contacting the original Vendor,
Most companies have generic OEMs which they can pass on to their users.

Does Anyone know if this code will look like a Windows 98 code with 5 groups of 5 digits with dashes in between or whether it will look like a Windows 95 code with 5 digits and dash then OEM with a dash and 7 digits and a dash then 5 digits???
