Windows NT 3.51 build 1057.1

Windows NT 3.51 build 1057.1 is the official RTM build of Windows NT 3.51, released on 30 May 1995. It was compiled for the x86, PowerPC, MIPS and DEC Alpha platforms, and shipped in both a Workstation and Server SKU.
== Installation ==
The CD for Windows NT 3.51 is not bootable, and requires the use of three included boot disks. Upgrading from a previous version is also possible. By running winnt32.exe with the /b switch, the floppy disk requirement can be bypassed.
== Compaq OEM ==
A Compaq OEM version of the Workstation SKU, dated 7 June 1996, was dumped on 20 September 2017 by Internet Archive user galeharpring.https://archive.org/details/Desktop.7z_201709 It is a bootable CD, but the boot sector has been modified to check for a Compaq system. The CD contains the base system, drivers, and Service Pack 4 installation files in the English language.
The CV of Chris A. Caudle, a former Compaq developer, references work done for this OEM version:
It also references a Compaq OEM version of the Server SKU.
"Release 2.50" of this version (dated 12 December 1995) was dumped on 23 June 2020 by Internet Archive user nt351.https://archive.org/details/nt351server Unlike the newer Workstation CD, it is not bootable (there is x86 real-mode code at 0x200 in the ISO, but it does not comply with the El Torito standard), and is like the NT 3.1 Compaq OEM in that it is multilanguage and has the registry hives encrypted. It contains the base system, drivers, and Service Pack 2 (and NT 3.5 Service Pack 3) in the English language, and the base system, drivers, and Service Pack 1 (and NT 3.5 Service Pack 2) in the French, German and Spanish languages.
"Release 3.10" of this version (dated 11 September 1996) was dumped on 31 July 2023 by Internet Archive user BlueRain.https://archive.org/download/compaq-smartstart-3.1/Microsoft%20Windows%20NT%203.51/CD-ROM%201/ Being the newest of the three dumped Compaq OEM versions, it is bootable; the boot sector has not been modified. Like the Release 2.50 version, it is multilanguage and has the registry hives encrypted. It contains the base system, drivers, and Service Pack 4 in the English, French, German and Spanish languages.
