Windows 10: Windows Explorer Question

Hi! I hope this doesn't sound stupid...but I just recently did a clean install of windows 10....

When you go to Windows Explorer (you know, where your files are like downloads, documents, photos, music, etc) if you click the home tab on top you see that nifty bar that enables you to copy, paste, change name of file, etc etc just by clicking on it with your mouse arrow on it (as opposed to having to right click on the file itself to get the various options)...

In the past, I always set it so that bar appears above each section (downloads, documents, etc) on top of the "file" tab) but seems like I have forgotten how to make that bar stay on top all the time (locked in)...

Can someone direct me how to do that (or is that option no longer available?)...
Thanks*Smile

Windows 10 retail license key

I've been looking into possibly getting Windows 10. I found retail license keys being sold on eBay for extremely cheap (under $15). It
seems like there would have to be some issue with these. However, I'm not sure what the problem could be. I've been doing some research. If I understand correctly, if it's retail then it cannot be OEM. Also, if it's retail, I understand it cannot be
a volume license key. From what I understand, it cannot be MSDN, either. If it were simply pirated, then I don't see how it could be activated as they claim it can be. What am I missing? FWIW, it comes from Europe, but claims to be valid worldwide.

(Not linking to the eBay sale as I don't want to "promote" it if there is an issue with it. But what can you suggest to me based on the little info available?)

Edit: A possibility... could it potentially be resold to other parties and activated by them, but then if I reinstall (when enough activations have been done), I will be unable to reactivate again?

 

Interenet explorer question

You replied to yourself. I think maybe you meant to reply to me?

If you have the bookmarks saved in IE, then you just need to get them into Edge.

In Edge click on the three lines at the top right and then Favorite Settings and import them from IE. Now you have your favorites in both browsers.

 

go to mine pc ect windows explorer. right clic on file untic the minimice this band.

 

Top right, to the left of the help icon, just below the 'close' [X] there's a little up/down arrow that controls the ribbon. Click it.

 

@Bree: That did it...now when I open windows explorer (files) it goes directly to the home tab (which is what I wanted it to do) and that helpful bar is locked in on top for each of the various functions I go to (ex: downloads, documents, music, etc)....PERFECT *Smile

So easy too...thanks for "pointing me" in the right direction...I will have to make a note of that for the future...*Wink

You probably accidentally clicked while your mouse was passing over it once, easily done when aiming for 'Close'. I click on purpose, sometimes I need the extra height to see more files in a list. Now you know it's there, you'll probably start using it too.
