    Noob question - Windows 10 reinstall w/o disc/documentation?


    My situation:

    A) I need to reinstall windows 10.

    B) I never purchased a copy of Windows 10, but rather updated from a (legal, purchased) copy of windows 7.

    C) I no longer have the disc or documentation for the copy of windows 7 I purchased (lost in a house move years ago).

    What is my best option for doing a legal, registered reinstall of my OS? Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Documents - "Send to" Question

    Documents – “Send to” Question

    I recently reinstalled Windows 10. I had a backup of my Documents folder on an external drive. In the external drive, I clicked on “Send to” Documents.

    What occurred was the Documents folder was listed as a separate folder in my Windows 10 Documents folder.
    I thought it should have replaced any documents in the Windows 10 Documents folder and not be listed elsewhere.

    Please explain.

    Thanks,

    Jerry
