@growlph@greywolf.social Windows NT was originally designed and written on Intel i860 and MIPS R4000 processors, and was ported to x86, because they wanted a portable OS like Unix.
by the time of Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0, it supported x86, DEC Alpha, MIPS R4x00, and PowerPC out of the box. retail and OEM discs alike supported all of these architectures. you did not need a special version, just a computer that had the right firmware and drivers.
