    Need help reactivating Windows 10


    Good evening. Need help reactivating windows 10 Pro after a reinstall. This is on a Dell XPS 8700, originally Win 7 Pro, free update to Win 10 Pro. Everything has been working fine, then a few months back I got a BSOD, inaccessible boot device. Been doing a house reno so just finally got back to looking at this now. I followed a lot of Greg Carmack's suggestions, with no success. Finally used the media creation tool and did a reinstall. That all worked ok, however now I cannot get the install activated. Says windows reported no product key found on the device, error 0x004f213. This was not a "clean" install as I was not 100% sure I had recovered all my documents, pictures, e-mail etc. My Microsoft account is valid and the PC is still showing on the account, although it shows as off. Shouldn't the activation key still be on the account? Any help is appreciated! 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
