  1. Failure to reactivate Windows after setting up a new PC.


    Recently, I set up an entirely new system and decided to install Windows 10 Home edition on it, the exact same as my old pc that has them activated via "Digital Licensing liked to your Microsoft Account". I tried for a myriad of hours to find a solution as to how I could re-activate windows using my Microsoft account. Results are that I could not manage to link my new PC while having the correct account logged in with the windows activation on it. I don't know how to proceed and what else to try, should I remove somehow my Microsoft account with the activated Windows from the old pc? Please help me out on this one. Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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
