    Where do personal files go after windows 10 installation? I can't find them.


    Yesterday I upgraded my old pc from windows 7 to windows 10 using the media creation tool but found out it was 32 bits. So i had to use a usb drive boot to upgrade to 64 bit but when i did so, unlike the first time i upgraded, i lost all my important personal files which i thought I'd find in windows.old folder. I tried showing hidden files, using third party file recovery software but nothing I had showed up all i got was a license file, 800+ of them. These file are very very important and I would be very grateful for a way to get them back. Also, i didn't have a system restore point unfortun

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    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
