Windows 10: Windows 10 home on new laptop and it's validity.

Hi, I just bought a new laptop online. It says it has windows 10 home 64 bit. However, in the discussions part, some one has asked if it's for lifetime validity and the answer is no. How is it possible? If the laptop comes with Windows 10, it is for the lifetime, right?

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

New Alienware laptop, clean install on Windows 10 64bit (Home)


Dear Kari,

I'm the same user (danielari) with a new name (). Somehow, I could not log back into tenforums so I had to register again. I wanted to ask your help with a problem I run into while starting to follow the tutorial. I did the first step re: changing the user. Then I stopped. I wanted to get the laptop from a friend to be able to continue with the tutorial on video. But... meanwhile I noticed that Windows was not letting me do certain things I always did. It was telling me that I needed admin permissions. Then I guess I did something stupid. I went and gave myself those permissions following some online instructions. And I don't remember if I changed the permissions for Admin or for Daniel. Anyways... whatever stupidity I did, now, whenever I reboot, Windows 10 takes about an hour to start. I get that blue screen with the spinning circle. And when Win 10 starts, I lose some info, like, for example, Gmail does not remember my accounts, etc. I searched the Web and it seems that this waiting one hour for Windows to start is due to some problem with accounts and permissions. And I don't want to experiment any more out of fear of losing all admin rights to my own computer.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance,

Daniel
