    Ok.... I didn't actually know this, but I switched my wife over to windows 10 a while back, but she insists on keeping her windows 7 computer yet as she searches for stuff on it and says windows 10 is not the same.


    Basically, she says that when she uses the search box on windows 7 it searches everything on her computer, files, emails... not sure if anything else, but thats what she wants.


    I know she can search emails on windows 10 by going to the search box and typing email: and search term... but she want to be able to just open search box and search for everything.... I've been googling this for 2 days now on and off and I can't find an answer... is it possible?

    :)

    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

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
