Windows 10: Second hand PC running Windows 10.

The previous owner of the PC did a factory reset on the computer and upon booting up the machine when I received it, I only have the ‘Other User’ login option and can’t login at all. I took the advice given in another thread to boot into safe mode with networking and now everytime I start up the PC, it automaticall logins to Administrator and all I get is a desktop with a black background and only recycle bin.


Any attempts to open a file or folder gives the message ‘An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist.’ I have not been able to find anyone else who has a similar issue and a solution for it so I would greatly appreciate the help.


Much thanks,

Luah

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

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
