need to find the 20 digit code to continue loading

Thanatoid posted a while ago about this . . .
Try
BBH2G-D2VK9-QD4M9-F63XB-43C33
or
W7XTC-2YWFB-K6BPT-GMHMV-B6FDY

or

Microsoft Products

There may come a time when you need to reinstall Windows 95 or a
Microsoft application from its CD-ROM, but the CD key, which is
printed on the back of the CD-ROM sleeve, isn't readily
accessible. No problem; enter any three characters, followed by
a hyphen. Now enter 1111111 and select OK. Setup will proceed
without a hitch. Instead of 1111111, you also can use any
combination of seven numbers, which when added, equal a sum
that's a multiple of seven, such as 1234567. Note: In no way do
we suggest you use this tip to violate software licensing
agreements.

like: abc-1111111

Note from thanatoid: I have no idea if this works.
Or google. Hundreds of places have those key codes.

Thanatoid disappeared not very long after making that post!

I can't say whether it was an alien took him or an MS spy-- BUT my own
copy of thanatoid's post is marked "Top Secret-- not for distribution!"
Don't go telling on me! Phillipson must be next!

I still won't say whether it was that or an MS spy did it! But I don't
see any aliens yet have showed up here in this thread!
