  1. Windows 10 on a laptop with windows 8


    A friend asked me to install windows on his laptop (thinkpad twist) and I noticed that on the back it has a Windows 8 sticker. I've heard these laptops come with the license key installed on the motherboard or smth like that.

    But I'd rather install windows 10. Is there any way to get it for free?

    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
