Windows 10: Reactivate Windows 10

Hi,


I bought a new motherboard because I bricked my old one during a BIOS update.


After I installed everything I got a message in the bottom right corner " Activate Windows"


So I went to settings->Update & security ->Activation.


I got the error message 0xC004F211.

So I started trouble shoot, which gives me the option "I changed hardware on this device recently"


Now my windows license is connected to my Microsoft account.

I selected the "This is the device I'm using right now" clickbox and pressed activate.


But than I get the message "Unable to activate Windows"



:)

 

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
