Windows 10: Change Windows 10 Enterprise to Windows 10 Pro

Hello Everyone,


I got an HP Probook 440 G4 from my University Manipal Institue of Technology, Manipal, India after joining the campus. It came preinstalled with Windows 10 Enterprise Edition and required me to connect to University Wifi every 180 days to preserve my activation.


Now that I'm in my final semester, I'll soon be leaving the college and the laptop provided to us is ours to keep after graduation. The issue is that my windows gets deactivated and also Microsoft Office Suite and it is frustrating. It isn't my fault that the university isn't really aware about how enterprise licenses work, and as a result, I have to deal with constant annoying messages about how my windows is about to get deactivated. And I'll be using this laptop for at least a year or two more for my professional work, so this really hampers me down.


I'm just looking for a way to downgrade my enterprise license to Windows Pro, without having to buy a new license key. In case you any Microsoft employee wants to verify my identity and check for legitimacy, you can contact me personally through email and I'll provide you with my Edu email along with outlook email I've participated in Windows Insider program before

:)

 

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
