Windows 10: Occasional delays after resetting PC using Windows 10

Hi. Let me start with some background information that will hopefully help you understand my situation from a different helpful perspective. I am a retired senior with limited technical computer knowledge and skills. Bought my hp laptop in 2017 and use it primarily to email, do my banking and such. Do not play games or do social media of any kind. A friend recently passed away and his family graciously gifted me his PC. It is also an hp and appears to be about the same age as mine. It is an All-In-One desktop, and what I really like is the 22-inch screen -- an amazing benefit for those of

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

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
