Hmmm. I'm dubious. I'm not aware of any differing editions of Win95 in
each individual version. Original Win95 - not 95a, not OSR 2 or 2.1 or
2.5 but the plain release version - *was* very basic by today's
standards. No web browser - IE came in the Plus Pack, a paid-for
optional extra. No CD key & I'm not aware of 95 doing anything to
fingerprint diskettes.

Sounds like a standard copy of the 1st version to me, on different media.
