Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed

 

Windows 10 update tool gave me the wrong version

The media creation tool for me asked for a key, which I obviously don’t have a key for windows 10 Pro. The key for windows 8.1 Pro I have says invalid when enter in media creation tool as I would expect it to. When doing the update through windows
update as I did I was not given a choice what version to install it automatically installed the /Home version of Windows 10.



I did the process twice with the same results, that I not a solution for this. I have seen people suggest some way of doing an upgrade for customers. The simple solution would be to provide an upgrade key to customer that can provide a verifiable
key for a version of Windows that should have upgraded to the pro version.

 

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
