  1. Reactivating Windows 10


    Every time I restart my PC, I get "Activate Windows..."I only have to restart it when a Windows update has been installed. This did not start happening until I had to use System Restore to a point about 1 week before due to legitimate software being installed, which not should not matter but did. After the System Restore, I had to install a few Windows updates. The first 2 went but still had the 'Activate Windows' showing. After the 3rd update, I was still getting the watermark in the lower right of my monitor after restarting. No big deal at this point, so I went with the last and final updat

    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
