  1. Old invalid Windows 10 Pro is overriding my newly purchased and used Windows 10 Home


    My computer had an old, invalid version of Windows 10 Pro. It told me I "needed to buy a valid product key" so I went to the Microsoft store, purchased Windows 10 Home (it's much cheaper and I have no need for Pro), and directly installed it onto my computer, through the entire installation process provided. It installed everything fine, used the purchased product key, but now it is still trying to force my operating system as Windows 10 Pro and is demanding I buy a key for that.

    Is there any way I would be able to use the Windows 10 Home I just bought?

    Windows 10 Release Date Announced

    Windows 10 Home will be $119, Pro $199.

    Microsoft: Windows 10 Home costs $119, Pro costs $199



    Which is good news actually, because Windows 8.1 is loads cheaper than previous versions (retail licensing at Windows 7 OEM prices). And it sort of puts a huge hole in the Windows subscription theory.

    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
