Download and install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a with 128-bit encryption ( ). Install Windows NT 4.0 Workstation as usual.ģ. You will need to install the FastFAT driver for FAT32 support. Furthermore, by default, Windows NT 4.0 will only support either FAT or NTFS partitions. And in the original release, Windows NT 4.0 will not even partition the boot hard disk over 4 GB. If you're planning to run Windows NT 4.0 Workstation in a virtualised environment (such as VMWare, Qemu, Virtual PC, etc.), apply the appropriate settings on how much disk space to use for a virtual hard disk, how much memory to allocate as well other important settings such as floppy drives, CD-ROM, sound card and networking.īe warned that Windows NT 4.0 (pre-SP4) will NOT support hard disks and other media over 7.8 GB (1023 cyl/255 heads /63 spt) on install.

This is especially the case, when it has became increasingly difficult to do research and find all of the updates that once appeared on the Windows Update website as Microsoft withdrew the updates for Windows NT 4.0. However, it has became a serious and crippling limitation for anyone re-installing Windows NT 4.0. This is not a limitation for existing installations of Windows NT 4.0, because Microsoft pulled the plug the OS years ago and as such, no new updates are being produced. Users who want to receive updates are now required to use Windows Update v6, however as Windows Update v6 does not work on Windows NT 4.0 and other OSes, users of these operating systems do not have any method of either automatically detecting and installing updates or doing it manually via the Windows Update website. Unfortunately, in the summer of 2011, Microsoft de-commissioned older versions of Windows Update (v3 and v4), thus withdrawing updates for Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 < SP3. In the past, when you first installed Windows NT 4.0 Workstation or Server, you would get updates for Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, however the updates were from Windows Update v3, which first appeared on Windows 95.
