Windows 10: Using an image to build identical computers using Windows 10

Hello: I have 15 identical computers to set up. They already have a fully licesnsed copy of Windows 10 installed. I thought I would set up the first one, make a system recovery image using the Windows utility and install the image on the other computers.


After this I think I would need to reactivate them. I have been provided with an activation key by the integrator that sold me the computers. They say i can use this activation key to reactivate all fifteen computers.


I just want to make sure this is legit. I am concerned I might lose the original license on the target computer when I copy the image. Can I use the same activation key to re-activate multiple computers after imaging?

:)

 

is it possible to hand build a motherboard?

Might I suggest you simply build a computer, making notes and taking pictures step by step. Most people (probably including your teacher) have no idea even where to start building a computer. You'll do fine, and if you get stuck we're here to help ya out! *Toast :toast:

 

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
