    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

    Transferring old Hard Drive to New Computer. Is it possible?

    I've done it a few times and never had a problem. Most of the time windows has sorted itself out for me, but when it doesn't a safe-mode boot and driver clean does the trick. I imagine that most of the problems would come when going from AMD > Intel or the reverse, but I haven;t tried that.

    Run some kind of backup before hand, in case it doesn't work. Get the windows key and re-activate (phone method) on the new computer. As mussels says, it might run more smoothly after switching to win 10, but then again, I'm not sure if Win10 still generates a new key, and I wouldn't want to to be associated with my old computer.

    The safest way would be to backup what you need, transfer the hard drive and install win 10 with your Win 7 key on the new machine.

    backing up old computer to new one

    I purchased a new computer with Windows 10 and my current computer has Windows 7. I was considering putting the old hard drive into the new computer until I found a topic here where it wasn't suggested.

    Users mentioned backing up the computer but there was no mention of software so I'm wondering what software do you use to transfer programs and documents from one computer to the next? Is the success transfer rate lower since it's transferring from a HP Windows 7 to a Cyberpower Windows 10 computer?

    I have a WD external drive on the way large enough for a backup file to transfer to the new computer. Is there a free program that can be used? My new computer has a SSD which is new to me but I think I'll only upload the previous computer files to the main hard drive. One of my current external WD hard drives has a file labeled "Do your data recovery" but don't know anything about it and that drive doesn't have enough room to do a backup anyway.
