    Windows 10 Pro

    I had a pirated copy of Windows 7.13 Pro which MS replaced with an authentic copy of 10 Pro free together with an activation code.
    I have misplaced this.
    How do I recover it?

    Click the top link and you should see an 'Upgrade now' button. It will do it all itself then in the background

    The top link is 3 horizontal lines + start.
    The 3rd has an introduction to all the available options.
    Thank you Dillinger but I have decided to go to Chiang Mai & get the job done by a tech.

    My hard drive packed up on my laptop, so went up to Pantip and bought a 240GB SSD to replace the 1GB HDD that was already in it. A bit small I know but I was feeling frugal and besides I have a 2TB external drive anyway.

    So that was 2,500 baht, plus I bought a 100 baht copy of Windows 7.

    Then, got home and fitted SSD myself and installed the snide Windows 7, then went through that link I posted above and voila, now I have a fully activated Windows 10 operated speedier machine.

    I would have stuck with the pirated Windows 7.

    How does one have a 1GB HDD?

    If you type 1 GB HDD into google it suggests '1 GB HDD 1981'.

    I had one of those big oversize drive but it was much later than 1981, took 2 persons to carry around because we were so afraid to drop it

    a work of art, could be exposed in some art of museum

    would look great on any desk !!!

    thinking of buying one now on ebay

    ^ you probably have a couple you have forgotten about stashed up your arse next time you get the industrial high pressure water cleaner in , tell them to check the shelves at the back and make sure a full bio hazop is done - last time there was nearly an international incident
    If you torture data for enough time , you can get it to say what you want.

    More than enough to run his Win XP hackpro 6.9 masterware.

    Which, to be fair, is miles better than foking Windows 10.

    For you thick fukkers on here, the trick with Windows 10 is to right click on the start button

    Do it, look what pops up, then moan nothings easy to find

    I became a legal user of Windows 10 for the first time when MS had the amnesty & it was free. I turn it on in the morning & off at night. Very little else. Given those parameters it is little different to 7.13 Pro which was my last unauthorized version.
    No problems in moving forward.
