Windows 10: How can I download the Windows 10 version than came with the newly purchased laptop.

Hey everyone, I just want to know that When I buyed my laptop Acer Aspire 7 it came with the windows 10, but the thing is, Is there any difference in the windows which comes with the laptop pre-installed and the iso file that we can get from the mircosoft site. If possible can I get the windows that came with my laptop from anywhere on the internet, or its just me being crazy for no reason xD.I mean like is there any difference in the windows which is on the microsoft page and the one which came installed on my laptop because my windows crashed and I was stuck with it, so i downloaded the iso

Windows 10 forced download

I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.

 

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 English version of Windows 7 on a laptop that came with Japanese version

Hi guys,

I finally bought a small laptop and t came with the Japanese version of Windows 7 x64. It is an Asus UL20A. Now, since I have an English version of Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit) with me, can I install that and put the CD Key which came with laptop to activate? Or do I have to find a special OEM disk to do this?

There are few reasons why I wanna do this.
1. Although I managed to change the interface to English, it is not as good as the native English version. At some places, the fonts are too small and ugly.
2. I need to install 32bit Windows so that I can save a little bit more RAM.
3. I need to make the C drive smaller. However, I don't know how this will affect the recovery partition. Can I simply format the drive where Windows is currently installed in, and install Windows 7 in there? Will I be able to recover to the original state (if the need to do so arises) by using that partition (by pressing F9 when booting up)? Though I have the recovery disks with me, the laptop doesn't come with an optical drive. So they are useless. Recovery partition is important.
