  1. How to activate and use Windows 10 on a Mac?


    Good afternoon Community.

    Father Christmas has sent me a Mac which I would like to use. My current workstation in use is a Win PC with Win 10 Home which I got from a free Win 7 upgrade. Therefore I haven't got a product key for Win 10. My Win 10 version has been merged with my Microsoft account.

    The question now is: I am wondering if it would be possible to utilise "my" copy of Win 10, install, activate and run it on my Mac. The same question applies for my copy of MS Office 2019 Pro for which I own a product key.

    I should be very grateful if anyone of you guys would be so kind to help me in that matter.

    Many thanks.

    Alex

    Data Recovery for Mac (OSX Capitan) ?

    Anybody knows of a good data recovery software for mac? Preferably free?

    I use Active@ Data Recovery for Windows, but honestly no idea what to use for Mac OSX.

    Any suggestions?

    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

    How to activate and use Windows 10 on a Mac?

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
    I won't buy a key, stupid.

    I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

    When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
    is that causing the problem?
