MicroSoft, nor any PC manufacturer, provides Windows or Windows upgrades for free.
So why should Apple?
That was the rationalle behind Apple's decision to stop providing free upgrades to the OS. And that was when OS 7 came out (In the late 80's? Early 90's?).
I know. I was the President of the local Macintosh Users Group at the time.

So that leads me back to the my question: Why are you looking for it? Don't you have the original DVD that came with the computer?

DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32(3)
NAME
DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32 - Determine the local system's time zone on Windows
VERSION
version 1.63
SYNOPSIS
my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => 'local' );
my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone::Local->TimeZone();
DESCRIPTION
This module provides methods for determining the local time zone on a Windows platform.
HOW THE TIME ZONE IS DETERMINED
This class tries the following methods of determining the local time zone:
o $ENV{TZ}
It checks $ENV{TZ} for a valid time zone name.
o Windows Registry
When using the registry, we look for the Windows time zone and use a mapping to translate this to an Olson time zone name.
o Windows Vista and 2008
We look in "SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/TimeZoneInformation/" for a node named "/TimeZoneKeyName". If this exists, we use
this key to look up the Olson time zone name in our mapping.
o Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server
We look in "SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Time Zones/" and loop through all of its sub keys.
For each sub key, we compare the value of the key with "/Std" appended to the end to the value of
"SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/TimeZoneInformation/StandardName". This gives us the English name of the Windows time zone,
which we use to look up the Olson time zone name.
o Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millenium Edition
The algorithm is the same as for NT, but we loop through the sub keys of "SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Time
Zones/"
