    Can I install a fresh copy of Windows 10 over the existing one? Will I lose my data? Where do I get a new Windows 10. I just purchased this computer in late November. Can you 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

    cannot shred folder

    Windows 10 will let me delete a folder on boot drive C: but will not let me shred the folder with several of the file shredder programs. I can shred all individual files. Also If I copy the folder to my D drive, I can shred the folder, but not from the C
    (boot) drive. The C drive is solid state, the D drive is SATA, if that makes any difference.

    Does Windows lock folders on the boot drive? Can I unlock specific folders so that they may be shredded if I choose?

    Many thanks for suggestions.
