    Help pleaseI had Windows 10 Pro retail installed on a PC that very recently fried literally!. I bought a new PC which came with Windows Home pre-installed. So I now have two Windows licences it seems.Despite many efforts including a fresh install of Win 10 I cannot upgrade my new PC from Windows Home to Windows Pro with the Pro retail key from my dead PC. All I ever get is this final response on the activation page:“The last product key ID:00330-80000-00000-AA242 you entered can’t be used on this copy of Windows error code 0x803fa067.”It seems I can’t use my paid-for Pro retail key to

  2. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
