    Windows 10 New window Obscures Existing Window


    I have 2 monitors with plenty of desktop space. Often I will be using a window and want to open a file browser window as well. Naturally I move the window I am currently using eg a cmd.exe shell to the side, and use Windows+E key to open the Windows File Browser. Ignoring all the empty desktop space, Windows will always open the new Browser window straight on top of the existing window I was using. I have to constantly move windows around everytime I open a new one to be able to see all of them together. I know you can organize the desktop symmetrically, but is there a way to tell windows wher

    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

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
