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

no, you can't go back..
I suggest creating a backup image of your os drive

 

Making a hard drive usable

I have a new hard drive I'd like to use for back ups but Windows 10 doesn't recognize the drive as usable as a viable drive for backups. The drive is seen by the computer just not usable for back ups. Any suggests?

Thanks,
