  1. Lost Windows 10 PRO License


    I upgraded windows 10 home, to windows 10 pro, but had to reset my laptop's hard drive. I need to find the windows 10 pro license I purchased to reinstall to my laptop. I cannot figure out where or how the purchase was made. The account I use for office 365 for my business, does not allow me to sign in to Microsoft.com to review the purchase history. Also, under the only email address that the purchase notification would have gone to, I cannot find an email from Microsoft stating the purchase was made, and linking me the activation/license code. What can I do?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Pro lost Pro license

    Hiya.

    I've got a PC running windows 10 pro here with a windows activation error.

    It says that it can only find a digital license for Win 10 Home. I had previously upgraded it to pro, but i swapped out the hdd for an ssd and it won't reactivate.

    How can I reactivate it on Pro?

    appreciate the suggestions.

    Alex

    Windows 10 upgrade license

    Hello guys,

    I have 1 license of WIndows 8.1 FPP/retail license. I want to upgrade to WIndows 10, but I one thing is unclear to me.
    If I upgrade, will WIndows 10 license be retail or it will "turn" into some sort of OEM license?

    I ask this because I upgrade my PC, you know, more memory, replace HDD, and I intend to upgrade the MB and CPU to Kaby Lake platform sometime in the future, (and of course sell the replaced hardware)
    This thing is not clearly mentioned anywhere.

    Thank you.

    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
