    As the title implies, i recently changed computers (my motherboard stopped working). I still have the original HD and hardware. When i tried to migrate the OS to the new computer using the Mini Partition Tool app all went well until i restarted my computer. I have tried the troubleshooter but all i get is that windows is unable to activate windows (see attachment not in order). I really don't want to buy another key since i should have 1 or 2 linked with my account...


    PS: I currently have no way to get my old setup working again.

    Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings to OneDrive


    Hello -
    Thanks for the return. Before I undertake changing the Registry, I have a question.
    The steps in my Registry, for my version of Windows 10, were a bit different, but I think I eventually got to the right spot.
    The last step is to change the number of places you want to list in Recent Places. In my case, the default Max Display listed 50 as the number. So, if I were to change that number, how do I know the Save As page will be one of those places? Or, a similar question, will this registry change delete the tab Recent from my Save As page? This is what I would like to happen.
    When I received my computer in Nov. 2016, the Recent tab was not listed in the Save As page. Something caused it to be added over time. Which brings me to this second question. Would there be any benefit in deleting the changed registry listing and reverting back to the default listing? See attachment.
    Jerry

    windows 8 activation key

    You can use a Windows key as many time as you want provided it's only on one computer at a time. If the automated activation fails, just call the number it provides. Six minutes later, you're activated again. If it asks you how many computers it's on, just say "one" and you're golden.
