Should have left "Win XP" out. We know FCKGW. ☺️

My PC didn't support boot from CD, so I had to use about 6 WinXP floppies just to load the necessary drives to install from the CD. Good times

I think we also had the Win 95 and 98 installallers somewhere although I learned how to do it when upgrading from 98 to ME

Please. You're talking to a man here who ripped his entire CD collection into iTunes ... and then backed his library up on 1.44 MB floppies.

Does it count that I am 20 and have spindles of blank old CD/DVD?

Well, I should have Magic User Interface CD for Amiga 3.1 in somewhere. Didn’t find it right now.

I'm worried about a bunch of 3.5" floppies I have that I used to store a bunch of personal documents and journal writing from high school.

I haven't seen any of these documents for years because it's been a long time since I had a system with a floppy drive.

USB floppy drives aren't expensive.

Real Gs had Windows XP Black Edition burned to a CD. This appears to be vanilla XP.

I can remember installing Windows 95 with floppy disks, that was slow. XP was great because you could finally do minor things and it not require a reboot.

The fact I recognise that key.

(Also my husband agrees with me that looks eerily like my handwriting and is the kind of disk i used OP are you in Australia...)

I actually had a Windows 98 CD at one point. Copied/ pitated, of course. The keys that I had were kinda stolen from the IT department that I was working for, at the time.

Only kinda stolen. The company was required to have a ridiculous amount of OEM keys. There were only 200 people working at CR back then, that needed Windows 98 rather than Windows NT, and of course there were the 8 Linux/Unix guys that IT mostly ignored, except for their connection to the intranet.

IT could buy 100 keys, or 250 keys. There was no option to buy two groups of 100 keys back in 1998. So we had about 56 keys just laying around that a few of us in IT just kinda took. We also took a total of 300 Windows NT licences, but I kinda doubt that any of managed to even give away a license of WNT.
