    Windows 10 locks to the motherboard?


    I bought a copy of Windows 10 4 years ago, when I built a 9700k rig, I recently upgraded to a 13th gen chip and new motherboard.Once I got windows updated, it started giving me messages about the copy of windows needing to be authenticated...Is my copy of windows 10 locked to the old hardware configuration?Do I really have to buy a new copy of windows 10 everytime I do a parts upgrade?!?!I have 3 copies of Windows 7, is there a way to convert these into a free Windows 10 copy?

    :)

    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
