    Changing to windows 10 from windows 7. Does folder structure in my documents/app data...


    Hi all,So after many years, I decided to switch to Win 10, mostly due to a GPU upgrade.I have accumulated a ton of profiles and settings in both, my documents and application data folders.Can I safely copy the whole application data folder, after Win 10 installation or different or another step is required? They contain a lot of information so i would like to keep them; rebuilding them from scratch would take weeks. Thanks for the info,Cheers,

    :)

    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

    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.

    Say goodbye to ransomware with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

    Yes, ransomware will be a thing of the past with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update thanks to something called "Controlled Folder Access" in Windows Defender.

    Windows 10 will hide your important files from ransomware soon | The Verge

    These are protections for your files against ransomware at the kernel and Windows Defender level. Rest easy, your files are safe.

    About damn time Microsoft!
