  1. How can I get my free Windows 10 Home back


    I received a free update to Microsoft 10 HOME EDITION round about 30 December 2017. My computer crashed a couple of months ago. It was repaired and now it seems as if I have Windows 10 Pro! I Discover it because I now get regular notices when I switch my laptop on to tell me that my licence will expire soon. What can I do to get my original Windows 10 Home Edition back?

    :)

    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
