Windows 10: Windows 7 or 10

Hi, I just purchased a refurbished hard drive. I was told it had a Windows 10 operating system. I do see in System Information that it says Windows 10 Home, but in Control Panel "Back up and Repair" says "Windows 7" after it. If I had to reinstall my operating system, would it be 7 or 10? If 7, would I be able to update to 10? Someone told me I wouldn't because I don't have the "product key". Also, when it starts up, it goes from the Dell logo screen to a blue screen that says "Please Wait" before getting to the lock screen. It looks like the same screen you would get if Windows was finishing

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

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
