  1. When were each Windows versions stop being sold on new PCs you can buy from stores?


    I know some, like how you couldn't buy a Windows 7 Business PC after October 31, 2016. And you couldn't buy a computer with Windows 8.1 after October 31, 2016. And how you couldn't buy a PC with Windows Vista after October 31, 2010. And you couldn't buy a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium after April 30, 2014. What about Windows 2000/ME, XP, 8.0, 10?

    :)

    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 Store can not buy apps

    Hi Donna,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    To buy an app from the Windows Store in a specific country or region, you need to change the location for your PC, and then add a payment method from that country or region to your Store account.

    For example, if you buy an app from the Store and your PC's location is set to the United States, your payment method needs to be one from the United States.

    To change the home location for your PC to a specific country or region

    I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps

    • Go to System tray and select All settings
    • Click on time and Language
    • Select Region and Language
    • Under country or region
    • Select the country or region for your location from the list.

    You might need to restart your PC for these changes to go into effect.

    And also refer the link below and check if it helps

    Why can't I find or install an app from the Windows Store?

    New PC and Windows 10

    If one is intending to buy a new pc from a source that builds to order, but installs an OEM version of windows by default, what would be suggested as a first step for the user?

    For instance, should the user buy a copy of W10 professional and perform a clean install followed by the necessary drivers, software and user data?

    Apologies if this is something already covered, I am looking for pointers to the latest guidance in that case.
