    Windows 10 Activation after old PC Died and most components replaced


    Hi Team.

    My old pc died and I purchased new components, CPU, motherboard, disk drives and memory sticks. In error I believed I should delete reference to my old PC in my Account. Apparently, this is the wrong thing to do. My old PC is in bits and n. ot useable. How can I reactivate Windows with my original key?

    :)

    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
