  1. Do I need a new License?


    I purchased my spouse a new chassis for their computer. While moving the components over I put a pretty nice gouge in the motherboard. Unfortunately it will not boot not surprised after testing all of the components. It is an older motherboard/chip so I decided it is time for an upgrade anyway. I typically reformat the hard drive when uprgading a computer, but it just dawned on me; with a new chip/mobo and RAM, will I need to buy a new Windows 10 license?


    The license I currently have was from when we upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and I am thinking when I get it altogether I will need to buy a new license, but would like to be sure before I purchase one.


    Yes, no?

  2. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Do I need a new License?

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Do I need a new License? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
