ViewKeyXP still works for me, so I don't think it looks at this file.

I have an OEM copy on my laptop, and i do not have the Product key, in my $winnt$.inf file

I will try my system at home, that is a retail version of XP Pro.

I think it might be to do with OEM copies not having the key in that file...??

I'm using Xp Pro (not corp or oem) and it doesn't have my product key in that file, strange.

/edit in windows .net i have this entry in the file

[userdata]

productid=

productkey=

its just left blank, strange indeed

/edit that entry also appears near the top in windows XP Pro as well, strange

This is mine:

<pre>

[setupparams]

floppylessbootpath=no

producttype=winnt

sourcepath=devicecdrom0

floppyless=0

msdosinitiated=0

dospath=D:</pre>

    • I wonder why you say that. As we speak, I'm using it to slash off several minutes of my life.
    • I think you may need to adjust your style of approach. I know you won't though. While some were affected by performance issues, and it's not a huge gap... you're acting as if Ryzen couldn't handle 11 at all. Performance issues are purely based on some facts in certain scenarios, while others are not. I see one link with a handful of people discussing the topic. I didn't join those topics or seek them out myself, as I didn't encounter noticeable drops in performance going from 10 to 11. When 10 came out, during that beta testing phase... I was able to continually crash my system simply by renaming files. It might also have to be because I don't have my nose stuck up the butt of single digit percentage points. I don't benchmark my PC every time something new comes out. Single percentage point differences in performance only ruffle the feathers of those that don't care about daily use. If you have a race car, do you compare that to your daily driver? Do you expect your Honda Accord to break the 9 second quarter mile like your 1000HP Pontiac Firebird? If you're so worried about FPS instead of enjoying your games... perhaps opening a curtain in your basement might provide a new perspective in life.
    • Currently updating my Win10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 in a VM (QEMU/KVM) on Linux. but damn, updates take forever (makes me appreciate the lightness on Linux all the more). to give you a general idea... this update finished at 37 minutes into system uptime and I would estimate updates have been running roughly 20-30 minutes (some of this would be download time, but even subtracting that I would guess that 20-30min is close). granted, I only got two cores of my four core CPU (i5-3550) dedicated to the VM. but still, Linux wipes the floor with Windows in this regard. plus, that does not count the reboot which takes even more time.
    • It's disgusting that this exists and is being marketed by Neowin as a way to earn passive income. Support real writers and real arts. The world needs them more than ever. After at least 10 years, Neowin can GTFO my favorites bar.
