  1. Windows 10 sometimes acts as if windows key is pressed down?


    Sometimes windows acts as if my windows key is pressed down and does shortcuts when I press a letter. This has happened with 2 different keyboards, one of which is new. Things I've tried:

    Restarting the PC. This fixes the problem, but it comes back eventually.

    Reinstalling keyboard drivers. This did not fix it.

    Tapping the windows key multiple times to get it "unstuck". Sometimes works, but the problem comes back eventually.

    Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

    Edit: sticky keys is also off.

    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

  3. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
