Windows 10: Windows 10 Deactivating after 7 months

Hello Microsoft community, so I've seen a few posts about this, and I have a bit of a special case.

So a few months ago, I got a computer from a friend who previously had Windows 7 on it and later upgraded it to 10.

When I got it, I factory reset it, and linked the license with my MS account, and all was well.

Today, I was just watching videos when an activate Windows message came up, and I tried the whole I changed hardware recently, and the only computer that came up was my E6430 which also uses 10 Pro.

The activation troubleshooter indicated that it was trying to activate a 10 Home key which I think it's trying to pull the license from my Dell XPS 8700 which uses 10 Home, but I haven't booted that system in about 3 months.

If a Microsoft rep sees this, let it be known that several other people are also dealing with this, and that something went horribly wrong.


Thanks

:)

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 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed
