Windows 95

I've lost my cd key for windows 95 (its almost a decade since it's release, i wonder how i lost it...). Does anyone know of a way of getting the cd key of the windows 95 cd. I'm installing win95 onto an old computer, hence why i need it.

Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't mention that the machine which had that installed died over two years ago (it was electricutated at my friends house....). So I don't have it installed anywhere, I need to grab the key off the windows 95 cd itself!

 

you cant pull it off the cd im afraid

 

I borrowed a friends 95 cd a long time ago. I didn't have the key and couldn't wait to ask for it. So, I booted into dos and did a little looking around. I found a file and opened it up, and lo and behold there was the stinking key. I ended up buying the 95 upgrade anyway. But, all subsequent versions have changed and you can't do it that way anymore.

So, all you have to do is install it. Then after it's done, boot into dos. Look around and check .txt and .inf files using the dos editor. Just search for OEM.
