Activate using a digital license

Digital licenses are associated with your hardware and linked to your Microsoft account, so there's nothing you need to find on your PC. You're all set once your PC is connected to the internet and you log in to your Microsoft account.

Activate using a product key

A product key is a 25-character code, that looks like this:

PRODUCT KEY: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

During installation, you'll be prompted to enter a product key. Or, after installation, to enter the product key, select the Start button, and then select Update & Security > Activation > Update product key > Change product key.

Microsoft's much-hyped free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ended in 2016, right? Not exactly. The GWX tool may be gone, but all the other upgrade tools still work. The end result is an apparently valid digital license, and there's no evidence that the free upgrades will end any time soon.

had the same issue and actually managed to solve it without having to disable the Fastboot feature.

This is what I did:

1) Enabling every device I had disabled before: on Device Manager I disabled the Wifi and Bluetooth adapters because I wasn't using them. Enabling them again managed to reduce the issue by ~50%

2) Wiping the C:\Windows\Prefetch (or "%windir%\Prefetch" if you can't find it) folder. These are the files used to speed up the OS boot, but probably some were corrupted and generated the issue preventing the Fast boot to work. I deleted every file and folder inside Prefetch leaving only "Layout.ini" left. With this I totally managed to resolve the issue, I'm around at the 10th correct Fast Boot!

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has made a lot of waves since it was announced at //Build 2016 in April 2016. The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment — including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications — directly on Windows. To help answer some of these questions we’ve collected together most of the learning resources – docs, blog posts, and videos, below, where you can learn all about this exciting Windows 10 feature.

Here’s a table of contents of what you can find on this page:

The original BUILD 2016 WSL introduction

to view the Applications folder in Windows 10. To do so, press [Windows]+R, type shell:AppsFolder in the Open text box (Figure A), and press Enter.

press [Windows]+R, type regedit in the Open text box, click OK, and work through the UAC. Once the Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions

Beneath FolderDescriptions, you'll find a set of keys that contain information about each of the special folders in Windows 10. Not all of the folders are useful, but many of them are.

Just click on each key folder and look for the Name value, as shown in Figure D. This is the Shell folder name you'll use with the Shell command.
To access that special folder, open the Run dialog and type the Shell command, followed by the Shell folder name. Continuing with the above example, you would type shell:AccountPictures in the Open text box

Why You Need AHCI Enabled For SSD
How To Check Whether AHCI Is Enabled Or Disabled

Open the Device Manager.
Expand the IDE ATA / ATAPI Controllers.

If you see AHCI Controller in the list, you have it enabled:
How to Enable AHCI On Windows 10 After Installing

If you have already installed and set up your Windows 10 with your SATA controller running IDE compatible mode don’t be upset! You can switch to AHCI in a few steps.

To be on the safe side, it is advised to back up your Windows 10 using AOMEI backupper before you start tweaking the registry.

Launch the registry editor (Win+R, type regedit, press Enter) and perform the following actions:

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorV and set the value named Start to 0: iaStorV start 0
Find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStorAV\StartOverride and set 0 to 0: iaStorV StartOverride 0 0
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\ and  set Start to 0: storahci Start 0
And finally find the last key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\StartOverride\ and set 0 to 0: storahci StartOverride 0 0
Reboot your system.
Go to UEFI/BIOS and enable AHCI mode.

Enable AHCI Mode In Windows 7 Without Reinstalling

Launch the registry editor: regedit-win7
Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msahci

Set the Start value to 0:

enable AHCI mode without reinstalling Windows

Windows 7 msahci Start 0
Reboot your system.
Go to UEFI/BIOS during the reboot and change IDE to AHCI.

Another way to open Windows 10 startup folder is to use the Run dialogue:

Press Win+R
Type

shell:startup

Click OK or press Enter:

If you wish to set a program to run on startup for all users accounts, create its shortcut in common startup folder. In Windows 10 its default location is:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

You can open it by the path: %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp or using the Run dialogue as we explain below.

Press Win+R.
Type

shell:Common Startup

Press Enter:

You can also add Modern apps from Microsoft Store to startup folder. Follow the steps:

    Open the startup folder: press Win+R, type shell:startup, hit Enter.
    Open the Modern apps folder: press Win+R, type shell:appsfolder, press Enter.
    Drag the apps you need to launch on startup from the first to the second folder and select Create shortcut:  ///

If error message "cannot create shortcut here, create on desktop instead?"
then

Create shortcut on desktop, copy to all users startup folder [shell:common startup] and accept UAC prompt. Can be edited later, just accept UAC prompt.

Customizing the Start Menu and Taskbar shortcuts for all users in Windows 10

Here is a guide to making a custom start menu for all users on a Windows 10 devices. This guide will work for stand-alone devices as well as devices joined to an Active Directory domain. In this guide you will create and manipulate xml files, and then use either Local Group Policies or Domain Group Polices to point the clients to the xml file.

Hourglass is the most advanced simple countdown timer for Windows. Just enter a time in just about any format, and hit Enter.

"The disk is offline because it has a signature collision with another disk that is online"

The Disk Signature is simply an ID number that is written onto a hard drive so that each drive is uniquely identifiable. Its original purpose was to allow the operating system to distinguish between drives on a software raid configured machine. On traditional MBR hard drives it is written by Windows onto the first sector and it was made standard procedure for Windows to check signatures during bootup and if duplicates were discovered they would be automatically replaced. In most circumstances this would not cause any serious issues and could often go completely unnoticed. If you want to know more about the disk signature then we suggest this article as the place to start.

From Windows Vista on-wards the Disk Signature acquired a new function and importance when it was made a part of the Windows operating system boot process. This means that in normal circumstances a lost or changed disk signature will result in an unbootable machine. The old way of dealing with duplicate signatures needed to change and so from Win7 the situation is handled differently and nothing is altered automatically during boot-up. Instead Windows will now essentially isolate one of the duplicate hard drives by not mounting it or any of its partitions in Windows, thereby forcing you to investigate the problem before deciding on a course of action. If you only have two drives then it will be the non-boot drive that will be fenced off and show in Disk Management as 'Offline'.
Disk signatures are randomly generated and so under normal conditions the chances of seeing duplicates are vanishingly small. It is the increasingly common practice of cloning entire hard drives, usually for the purpose of upgrading to an SSD or just a larger HHD, that is the cause of PC users encountering this problem. When a full and faithful sector-by-sector copy of a physical hard drive is carried out then duplicate signatures will result. Another way signature collisions can occur is with the creation and use of Virtual Hard Drives (VHDs). If for example a physical drive is converted to a VHD, or a copy is made of an existing VHD, then signatures will be duplicated and clashes can occur just as they do with physical hard drives.

1. Right-click the Start menu and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) on Windows 10
2. Type diskpart in the Command Prompt window and press Enter.
3. Type list disk and press Enter.
4. Type select disk # (where # is the number of the disk with the recovery partition) and press Enter.
5. Type list partition and press Enter.
6. Type select partition # (where # is the number of the recovery partition) and press Enter
7. Type delete partition override and press Enter.
8. After you see a confirmation message, you can close the PowerShell/Command Prompt.

Step 1: Open Powershell As Admin

Right click select open as admin
Step 2: Find the full name of the live tile you want gone
Get-AppxPackage | Select Name, PackageFullnameStep 3: Copy the Full Package Name for Live tiles you want to removerun the command
Remove-AppxPackage <Paste Full Name >

Click on the icon that represents the account signed in (the circular graphic shown in my screenshot above) to open the menu in the screenshot.

Click on the name of the individual signed in - this will open up a new window over the top of the Store.

Click on the account again to be provided with a "sign out" option.

Then click on the icon clicked on in the first step (now represented with circle with a line sketch of a head with shoulders).

Click on "Sign In".

This will provide options for signing in as the original account or as a different Microsoft account.

Note - any account that has been signed into the store within this logon to the machine will be available for use in the store on this account from now on without needing to provide a password. Example: My son logs into the computer, I log him out of the store and log in to my own account. I can then go to my Library, tell the store to install each of the apps for this logon account, sign out as myself and sign him back in. When I sign him back in, a password doesn't need to be provided. If I need to switch back to my account to link something else (say I forgot to link something), I can sign him out again, and when I click on my own account to sign in, I do not have to provide a password.

You'll automatically get signed into Minecraft with the account you bought it with, and signing into Windows 10 with another account won't let you play that version of Minecraft UNLESS you download it again for that account. So that you don't have to buy it twice just sign into Windows 10 with THEIR account, then on the Windows store sign in with YOUR account and download it again. It means having 2 copies of Minecraft on 2 separate accounts. That's how I did it so that my niece has her own version associated to her gamertag and gamerscore.

The challenge started when I, like many others, bought a nice new Windows 10 laptop for the family in time for the holidays. I wanted to set it up so that our two children could use each their Microsoft Account in order not to step on each other and to benefit from the age appropriate content filters provided by the Windows Store.

The issue is that Windows Store apps are not shared between users, so unlike ‘classic’ Windows desktop apps, you can’t install them once and have them be available to all users on a particular device. That is, if I buy a Windows Store app and install it on the PC, it is not automatically made available to anybody else. The Windows Store Licensing Model allows you to install apps across a number of devices and users. However, before you can actually share your apps, there are a few hoops you need to go through first.
Creating a Family of Microsoft AccountsEnabling Family Members to Sign in to your DeviceIn Settings, select Accounts and then Family and other users where you should see your family members. To enable them to sign in to the device, click on each one and select Allow. Each member of your family can now sign in to your device using a short PIN but each will see their own Windows Store tailored to them. To share apps with a family member, you first sign in as that member and then change the account used to interact with the Windows Store. That is, while signed in as family member, you switch the account used to talk to the Windows Store enabling you to install your apps into your family member’s account. This is a little tricky, so let’s do it step-by-step.

You should now be signed into the Windows Store while the overall account is still that of your family member. You can now either buy and share a new app or share an already bought app with that family member. In the first case you just go through the normal payment process as you and hit Install to share the app with your family member.

If you have already bought the app then you should see something like this: “You own this product and can install it on this device”. Hit Install to share the app with your family member.

The Store’s app licensing model centers on the idea of providing customers with access to all of their apps on all of their Windows 8 devices. It gives customers control over their apps and keeps them connected to those apps across the multiple PCs that they’ll use over time. They can get updates for apps, write reviews for them, reinstall them on a new PC, and share them with their families. At the same time, the Store’s app licensing model provides developers with built-in protection against casual piracy, so that they can confidently build a business around developing apps for Windows 8 PCs.

These days, people may use several PCs in the course of their daily lives, or share PCs with more than one person in their household. We want these customers to have access to a great Windows 8 experience on all of those PCs.

The licensing terms allow customers to install and use their apps on any user accounts on up to 5 PCs. Why only 5 PCs? Because we also believe in the value of the developer’s investments in their apps, and we want to protect that investment from abuse.
Say, for example, that your family has a shared PC. You have previously used your Microsoft account to purchase a game that all your kids like to play. You can install it for each of your kids by having each of them sign in to their Windows accounts on the shared PC, then launch the Store and sign in to the Store using your own Microsoft account. There, you’ll see all your apps and you can re-install the app on your kid’s Windows account. Installing apps on multiple user accounts on a shared PC still only counts as one of the five allowable PCs where you can install apps.

If you have multiple Windows 10 devices, you’ll need to make sure that the device you intend to use offline is set as the designated offline device. You can only have one device as your designated offline device.

To set your device as your designated offline device:

1. Make sure that you’re online.
2. Check that your device has the latest Windows updates: Go to Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Update and see if any relevant updates are available.
3. Open the Store. You’ll be prompted to sign in if you haven’t already.
4. Select the Me icon (this is your profile picture).
5. Select Settings, and then under Offline Permissions, make sure that the toggle is set to On.

Once you set this, any devices previously designated as offline will be toggled to Off, and you’ll no longer be able to play games offline on those devices.

Prepare your game or games

Once your device is set up, you’ll need to launch each game you want to play offline while signed in to Xbox Live. You only need to do this once per game, and you’ll need to do this even if you’ve already launched the game on your device.

1. Make sure that you’re online, and that your device is set as your designated offline device. (See the steps above for details on how to do this.)
2. Launch the game you want to play offline. When prompted, sign in to Xbox Live with your account.
3. Once you’ve started playing the game, you can exit at any time.

Repeat this process for each game you want to play offline. Once completed, you can go offline at any time and launch those games whenever you want to play them, without needing to sign in online each time.
