  1. Windows 10 laptop with wrong windows edition


    A friend's laptop had windows 10 re-installed by a computer shop, but they put in the wrong one. Installed PRO and the machine has a digital licence for HOME. Cannot activate it, of course. He asked me to help, and has purchased a boxed full copy of Windows 10 home (microsoft usb & correct new product key). Trying to install and revert the machine back to Windows 10 home. Could not get the usb to work, error about corrupt driver but no other helpful message. I have downloaded a Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft hoping I can install this and put in the correct product key, but laptop won't boot from the usb. Anyone help?

    :)

    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 Lean Edition

    Windows Lean Edition

    Microsoft’s next version of Window 10, currently codenamed Redstone 5, will include a new “Lean edition” designed for devices with less storage space. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the new edition will be offered to OEMs to load onto low-cost laptops and tablets. Windows Central first reported that the edition will be available for devices with 16GB of storage, and it’s primarily designed to ensure these machines still receive Windows updates...
