    Getting back Windows 10 on my laptop


    Hi,


    I had Windows on my Asus laptop. As there was some problem and machine was hanging frequently, gave my laptop for repair to the Asus service center. They have reloaded windows. However, I have got Windows 8.1 on my machine now instead of the Windows 10 that was on my machine. How can I get Windows 10 on my laptop now without having to pay again?


    Thanks in advance for responses.

    :)

    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

    Getting back Windows 10 on my laptop

    Worth upgrading to Windows 10 with my laptop?

    Since it's a laptop I would just stick with Windows 8.1 and when it's time to buy a new laptop then Windows 10. My gaming laptop that I travel with has Windows 7 and it's fine. When I buy a new laptop in a couple of years Win 10 will be nice.
