  1. PC Updated and now I'm on Windows 10 Pro, when I used to be on Home.


    My pc just updated today to version "20H2" and for some reason I'm running Windows 10 Pro? My PC was activated using a Windows 10 Home key and I have no reason to use or have ever downloaded Pro, and I was running the PC just fine until today with it activated, but now it wants me to activate it using another product key because the one I'm using is for home.

    Why it wouldn't just change to Windows 10 home when I have access to internet for any type of download, input a valid Windows 10 home key, and never installed pro to begin with, I'm not sure. I would like to get rid of the **** watermark. Thats the only reason I bought a Windows 10 license.

    :)

    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

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    Defer feature updates in Windows 10

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

    PC Updated and now I'm on Windows 10 Pro, when I used to be on Home.

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

    And, some info from the FAQ page:

    Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:
