  1. Windows Activation: Found Windows 10 Home but PC running Windows 10 Pro


    I bought this laptop from a retailer and not sure why Windows 10 Pro was on the laptop. I'm getting a message that says


    We found a Windows 10 Home Single Language digital license for this device running Windows 10 Pro.


    To activate using this digital license you need to install Windows 10 Home Single Language.


    What must I do?

    :)

    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 Activation (Insider)

    I bought Windows 7 Pro OEM key from G2Play.net for 12€ to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro - worked like a charm but be advised if you buy a OEM key you can not download the Win 7 iso from microsoft and have to get it elsewhere.
