[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1024453, member: 175144"] I've got a Dell 5500 laptop here with knackered hard drive. The Microsoft operating system label is white and faded, but I can make out the 25 digit number on it (with the exception of the last digit) It there a way of determining which o/s it is with any of the known 24 characters before it ? It's almost certain to be Vista, but if it is a later version then I would attempt trying all combinations of the last to get a Win 10 upgrade on another machine. First five are G9F9Y if anyone knows. [/QUOTE]
