    Two Windows activations on one computer?


    Hi there,


    The computer I built originally had Windows 7 OEM on it, and I chose the free Windows 10 home upgrade. But now I have a new job, and I need access to pro features, so I was given a license key for pro. I have multiple hard drives in my machine and wanted to install pro on hard drive, and have my personal copy of home on the other, and migrate any data over manually. Unfortunately, I am having a very hard time activating windows 10 pro on my machine because I continue to get invalid product key errors.


    When I run the trouble shooter, it recognizes that I have windows 10 home on my computer, and wants me to input a home license even though its a pro installation on this particular hard drive. The only way it seems to fix this is to log into my personal Microsoft account. But I fear that that would inactivate my personal home copy on the other hard drive, and I only want this installation to be on a local account with no Microsoft account logged in.


    Here is a link to a screenshot of what windows is telling me when I run the troubleshooter: https://i.imgur.com/3iDYkay.png


    Thank you for any information!

    :)

  2. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
