Windows 10: Reinstalling Windows 10 Pro not Windows 10

I see a lot of responses on how to reset or reinstall a Windows 10 version on a company computer while not needing admin access. However, I'm not sure if the procedure works the same for the PRO version. All the responses I have read makes no mention of any differencesbetween reseting a computer for Windows 10 or Windows 10 PRO. Is it the same procedure?


I can easily save the data and therefore have no problem wiping it clean but resetting the PRO version.


Can someone please clarify that all the recommendations about reseting Windows 10 would also apply to the PRO version even if I don't have access to the admin password? Company computer, company toast so no IT help.


Dell computer is 5 years old but still functioning fine.

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

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.
