Windows 10: windows 10 download

My PC is telling me to activate my windows. I have tried and subsequently found out that my device is running Windows 10 Pro when I am only licensed for windows 10 home single license (I am assuming that the technician who fixed my laptop recently is responsible for this). I am very wary of downloading the software from just any site, so is there a legitimate link that i can use to download the right version of windows to resolve my issues?

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 forced download

I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.
