    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

  4. Activating a Windows 11 on a new PC

    How To Activate Windows 11 Signed-into Account (B) Using A Windows 10 Digital License Linked to Account (A) On A Different PC?

    I have:

    • An old PC that:
      • Is running Windows 10 Home.
      • Activated using a digital license that is eligible for Windows 11 update.
        • Digital license is linked to an old Microsoft account (e-mail #1).
      • Does not meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11.
    • A new PC that:
      • Is running Windows 11 Home.
      • Is not yet activated.
      • Is signed-in using a new Microsoft account (e-mail #2).

    My main goal is to activate Windows 11 Home on my new PC using my existing digital license while keeping:

    1. The new PC signed-in to the new Microsoft account (e-mail #2).
    2. The old PC signed-in to the old Microsoft account (e-mail #1).

    Side note: Though I would love to keep the old PC working and still licensed, it is OK if that is not possible.

    Initial idea:

    1. Unlink digital license on old PC from e-mail #1.
    2. Link digital license on old PC to e-mail #2.
    3. Check that the new PC is activated.
    4. Switch back to e-mail #1 on old PC.

    Yet, I am unsure about the proper way of handling this process while avoiding any hiccups.

    Actual questions:

    1. Would my initial idea work?
      1. Could you please point me to how to unlink an account from a digital license?
      2. Could you please point me to how to link a new account to a digital license?
      3. Would the Windows 11 Home activation be automatic and immediate or is there anything I need to do before?
    2. If not, what are my other options?

    Thank you in advance!
