    Windows 10 commands/shortcuts/env. var.

    Keyboard shortcuts to open programs:

    Create a shortcut on the desktop to whatever program you want. Right click -> Properties and fill in the field there. Sadly the shortcut needs to remain on the desktop, but you can hide it.

    Fun fact: If you had keyboard shortcuts for programs pinned to your Windows 7 start menu, those shortcuts still work when you update to Windows 10.

  3. Creating storage spaces using 2 drives

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to create storage spaces on your workstation using two drivers.



    I would suggest you to refer the section Should I create a simple, mirror, or parity space? in the article

    . Also, for more information you can refer the article

    Virtualizing storage for scale, resiliency, and efficiency
    .



    However, as the query is related to creating storage spaces on workstation, I would suggest you to post your query on

    TechNet forums
    , where they provide dedicated support and information on creating storage spaces on the PC.
