    Windows Activation


    I have a 1TB Western Digital SATA drive w/an activated Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit OS on it.

    My computer is self-built & there are a few different problems (software-wise) right now, so I'm planning to wipe the hard drive & do a clean install. I know from past experience (mine & others) that Windows 10 will reactivate w/o any problems.

    But I thought, if I'm going to do a clean install, I might as well get a new drive 1st. So my questions are:
    1. If I get a new drive (SSD this time) & do a clean install, will Windows 10 reactivate?
    2. What component is my digital activation number tied to?
    3. How many parts can I change before I have activation problems?

    The drive I want to get is at Best Buy.

    :)

  3. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
