Windows 10: Windows 10 Basic to Pro? (New PC)

Hello,


I've participated in the free windows 10 upgrade (W7 --> W10) and my microsoft account got a digital license for pro (IIRC)


My previous pc had W10 Pro installed and it got activated on my account. Now I have a new pc and I logged into my account but it says Home Edition Activated and Linked to your account. From the help desk there should be a free ugprade to Pro if your account has a Pro license. So I went to the Microsoft Store, but it says I have to pay for it. Now I'm very confused.


Am I missing here something?

:)

 

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

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?
