I have now reinstalled the...

If anyone can tell me how to do this, I'd be...

When you say "it's the key that matters", what does this mean, from a practical use point of view? Thanks.



That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that. Does that specific set up offer any...

Thanks a lot, that's great info, that's solved my question.
I now realise that my OEM disc installation is tied to the mobo, and MS will not allow me to use it (to boot up) on a new PC that has a...

Thanks very much for everyone's replies, they are really appreciated.
Unfortunately, I can't find my W7 disc. It was likely an OEM disc. (It's been a long time since I did a W7 install.)
However,...

I built my PC out of parts in 2008, and it's now showing its age.
I bought W10 about 18 months ago from a PC store. It was on DVD, and I'm 99% sure it's an OEM disc. (I can't find it atm to...

When I run notepad, I always have to maximise it, before I start using it.
If I then close it, then reopen it, W10 'forgets' that I've set notepad to maximised, and...

Thanks a lot. Actually, there is another reason why, and I found out by trial and error. For some odd reason, the cable is at fault. Although it charges the device, it won't allow my PC to "see"...

If I plug in my old Kindle in to my Win 10 PC, using the supplied USB cable, it can't "see" the Kindle's data storage area. My PC works fine, and all of the USB ports work fine. The cable works...
