  1. Under the circumstances - do I still need to buy a new version of Windows 10?


    had a Pc with motherboard RAM max at 8 GB.


    Win10 cumulative updates caused the system to go from 20% usage to 70% usage just to have the system running without my getting any work done.


    So I was forced to get another Motherboard with higher Ram max.


    Now Microsoft has caused my system to die - system ran fine for 4 hours then uploaded info, gave a message about 'stop code' - 'critical progress died' and now system won't even boot -

    because I reused the old product key.


    Not my fault - the updates basically maxed my RAM usage.


    Why doesn't Microsoft periodically erase old updates and just combine the newest findings in one update?


    2nd question - under the circumstances - do I still need to buy a new version of Windows 10?


    and if I do ... how am I to install it - when the system won't even boot from a boot disc?

    :)

    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
