  1. Windows 10 Pro vs Home


    Sorry in advance if this is a re-occurring question that happens in this subreddit but I really am getting fed up with people telling me I need to get a windows 10 pro version of a laptop because its better for productivity. While yes, I do understand it might have better productivity performance because of its business oriented mindset, for school work and the like, does it really make a difference at all?

    Also side question. Right now my Microsoft account is linked with a windows 10 pro key. If I sign into a new laptop with the said Microsoft account, will the windows 10 pro carry over and overwrite the previously installed window 10 home?

    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
