    cannot close the "windows key" window


    Never seen this before. The windows key pops up the applications but wont go way. There is no [x] in the corner to close it. ESC does not work. Everything else seems fine but I can not even get the task manager to the foreground to as to try to terminate whatever is causing the problem.


    Probably going to reboot after the big "update" download finishes.


    If any win developers read this please be sure to add an "X" to that window to help close it. Likewise, the popup that asks if I should look through the Microsoft "store" for an app to handle something I clicked. That does not have an "X" to close either.


    the window that wont close is the black one in the picture

    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.
