Windows 10: Finding Windows 10 Home Product Key and uninstall Windows 10 Pro (brand new machine)...

I purchased a new Lenovo Laptop from Staples last week. I then purchased Windows 10 Pro online from someone who presented themselves as a licensed windows provider. When I enter the key they provided, I got a 0xC004C003 error message. Staples told me to contact Lenovo who told me to contact Staples and then Microsoft. Microsoft told me to contact Lenovo. I'm hoping someone out there can help me.

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

I just did a deployment last night with a fresh 10 install using the newest ISO and a 7 Pro key, worked like a charm. Glad yours worked for you as well. *Toast :toast:

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
