    Windows 10 Pro Deactivated Itself


    I purchased Windows 10 Pro download from the Microsoft Store on May 18, 2018.

    A few months ago, I noticed a watermark message in the bottom right hand corner of my screen telling me to Activate Windows.

    The problem is I don't have the product key or digital license needed to re-activate it.

    All help topics say that the digital license should be in my account or order confirmation but I cannot find it.

    Since this issue started, I cannot access any Office products.


    Please advise.

    Thanks.

    :)

    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
