Windows 10: What are windows 10 esd keys?

Hey,

This is my very first post, so please bear with me.

Anyways. I ordered most of my parts from Proshop. I needed a windows key and the shop where I got all ready all the parts except psu what should be coming shortly, as psusu are out of stock, because of this psu shortage. So the same shop sells also windows 10 keys and I was planing to buy one from there.

Missing ESD

Hi,

To assist you better, we would like to know more information about your concern.

• Have you tried any changes prior to this issue?
• Have you tried to check the files in your Recycle bin?
• May we know what troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• May we know what ESD file are you trying to create? Is it for Windows 10 update?

Regards.

 

Windows 10 is excellent but it's easy to break.

If you want some good information, here's some good reading that will hopefully be more helpful than I have been:

• https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/947821
• Use DISM to Repair Windows 10 Image

As I said with Windows 10, the Microsoft Download Tool that most download Windows 10 from, in the Sources folder has an Install.ESD instead of Install.WIM. Well unfortunately, for a successful DISM repair using Install.WIM as the check against which your OS will be repaired isn't possible with the ESD file. But you can convert the ESD to WIM using DISM as well! It takes a little bit of time but is worth it to have around when you need it!

• Change ESD to WIM

I have debated taking the links and instructions I've shared and add them to a dedicated thread...it is handy to be able to repair your OS instead of wiping and reinstalling as many folks had to do in previous times.

 

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
