  1. Windows 10 Pro changed to Home after full reset


    Hi, I have just carried out a full reset, including remove everything option. Windows has started up OK but the computer is now running windows 10 Home edition instead of Pro that it was on before (Pro was supplied installed when I bought the computer). Windows says it is activated both before and after resetting. How do I get back to the pro version? And why did it change to Home?


    Many thanks,

    Matt

    :)

    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

    There's no need to reset the laptop. Simply create a new user account for you, change its account type to administrator (all new accounts after the first initial one are standard accounts when created), sign out from the original account, sign in to your new account and finally remove the original account. Takes a few minutes, much faster than a full reset.
