Windows 10: Show windows side by side not working on Windows 10 as it did on older Windows versions

Hello,


I'm having this issue with Windows 10 when arranging multiple windows. On previous Windows versions if you went to the task bar and right click on it you have the options to cascade the windows, to stack the windows or to show the windows side by side. With Windows 10 the options are listed but when they are selected the windows are not properly positioned. For example the windows are not positioned side by side and empty spaces are always present in the screen not only that but also the borders of the windows are not neatly and gaps are left between windows borders. All what I have been able to find on other forums or blogs is to use what is call Aero Snap and to use the arrow keys in combination with the window key. That is not a valid option for me:

1. There are moments where I have more than four windows
2. There are moments where I need all windows vertically adjusted side by side equally sized occupying the entire screen without gaps between windows, and the last point...
3. Using the task bar - right click - selecting the window arrangement option is way more effective, efficient and easy than using multiple key combos to manually arrange the windows.

I was told to turn off the Aero Snap feature but then other problems arise after deactivation. Then I read something about stopping or closing metro apps but that's not clear to me and having to close multiple metro apps each and every time that I have to arrange windows is not a valid option. Is there a way to fix the problem so that when you select the windows arrangement option from the task bar it works properly?


Please advise.

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 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
