Why would you need such a thing?
Every windows key is on a license or COA or the back of the disc case and this will say on it what version of Windows it is for.

That would involve about 8 CDs and a lot of time... :badpc:

In this case I don't have either, I have gotten the key from the registry and decryption, I just have no idea which CD I need to use

611999 2007-11-16 06:40:00 Quick way to find out - Ghost a known OS say XP HM or PRO to another drive, same PC. ( Pro may be a bit fussy as to the product key - try HM) On the Ghosted drive run sysprep after a reboot within a couple of screens which take a round a minute or two it will ask for the new product key, enter it and see what happens. wainuitech (129)

I have no idea

612002 2007-11-19 18:16:00 If you call MS with a product Key and asked what OS it was - more than likely they would say "look on the COA sticker" - and if you said you didn't have it - well I think you can guess the questions MS would start asking.

Did you try the sysprep suggestion I made above ?

612003 2007-11-19 21:13:00 if you got it from the registry can't you tell which version of windows it was by looking at the start up screen etc? dugimodo (138)
