    Can I use the Windows 10 Pro which was installed on the gaming PC that I bought approximately 5 years ago? I have another PC which I built and would like to install the same windows on it. Not rich enough to upgrade hardware for windows 11! If I am allowed to use my software on another PC, please tell me how. The guy who sold the PC didn't give me the discs.

    :)

    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

    Can't Remote Desktop Into PC even after PRO Upgrade

    Hi all, I am wondering if someone can help me get Remote Desktop working. Here is the problem:
    I have a brand new Acer Desktop PC that came with Windows 10 Home, after unsuccessfully trying to get remote desktop working on Home I eventually bought the upgrade to Pro.
    The PC upgraded to Pro but I am still unable to connect to the PC via Remote Desktop Connection.
    I am sure the IP is correct is because I can ping the PC from another PC on the same network and I get a reply back successfully.
    I have tried several steps and procedures found via google(changing services properties, disabling firewall, allowing RDP etc...) but nothing is working.
    Currently I am resetting the computer back to default in hopes this fixes any issues I may have caused during my troubleshooting
    Any ideas/suggestions that you guys have that got Remote Desktop Connection working would be great, thanks in advance!

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
