    Windows 10 laptop shutdown when any key is pressed


    Hi


    I have repurposed an old work computer for home use and have installed Windows 10 but am experiencing serious shutdown problems to the point where the computer seems useless. After powering on, it randomly shuts down after pressing a few keys. Sometimes i cant even get through my password before it shuts down. It doesn’t seem to be linked to any particular key. I’d be grateful if anyone could help!

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
