  1. Can't reactivate Windows 10


    Hi


    Yesterday I build a new computer with some components some my old PC, however, I did change the motherboard. Before I took my old computer apart I made sure that I had connected it to my Microsoft Account. Now that i want to activate Windows it won't let me. I have tried troubleshooting several times but without luck. When I press the "I have changed hardware" button, it did register my old computer so I tried choosing that as the computer I use now but that did not work. Then I removed the old PC from my Microsoft Account. Then I tried troubleshooting again and this time my old computer was gone. Then I pressed "look for other units that are connected to your Microsoft Account" but that did not work either.


    Am I doing something completely wrong? It did say I had a digital license before I took my old PC apart


    Thanks.

    :)

    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
