    My Computer with Windows 10 was destroyed in a house fire. It's still in my device list in my account. Can I still use that license? What happens if I unlink it from my account?

    Windows 10 and Fire Stick Miracast issue

    Hi Matthew,

    I appreciate the efforts which you took to get the issue resolved.

    Since you are not able to find the fire stick, I would request you to execute the hardware and devices troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Control panel.


    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Please revert if the fires tick still does not get recognized.

    Thank you.

    Connecting my Fire device to Windows 7

    I assume that you believe that there are files to view on the device. What sort of files are they?

    What sort of device is it (make and specific model)?

    Have you ever been able to successfully view files on this device when connected to this computer?

    Please do the following:

    1. Turn the power off on both your computer and the Fire device; the Fire device should not be connected to the computer at this point.

    2. Power up both devices.

    3. Connect the Fire device to the computer.

    4. Unlock the Fire device

    • Did the computer make a "connect" sound?
    • Did the Fire device screen display a message or other indication that it was connected to the computer?
    • Did an AutoPlay window open on the computer? If so, which option did you select?
    • If you click Start and then click Computer, is your Fire device shown?
    • If you go to Devices and Printers, is your Fire device shown?
    • When you open Device Manager, in what category is your Fire device? When you double-click on it, what is shown as its "Device Status"?

    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
