Win 11 or 10 ?
Was hoping to see what some opinions are before I jump. So on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q. Should I install win 11 or 10? It will never be used for gaming. It will only be used as a HTPC. Downloads, who knows. Thx Edit update - I installed Linux Mint XFCE. Works perfectly and I like it.CedricRichmondNov 22, 2025Iron Contributor54Views0likes2Comments- KaydenyoNov 22, 2025Iron Contributor136Views0likes1Comment

Where do I find Windows 10 Pro product key?
Hi community, I made a completely reinstall of Windows 10 Pro on his old PC. After installation, Windows 10 Pro asks to activate Windows 10 and there is a watermark appearing on the desktop all the times. I bought the key from someone and no way to find the person now. My question is that where do I find Windows 10 pro product key? Is the product key bound to the motherboard? Much appreciated if you could help me retrieve Windows 10 product key without paying again. Thank youSmanthanpNov 21, 2025Copper Contributor29KViews0likes17CommentsBetreff: Windows 10 ESU-Programm – Berechtigtes Gerät zeigt keine Registrierungsoption

My child has been experiencing lengthy restart issues with his PC for quite some time now. Despite appearing to shut down normally and quickly rebooting, the screen remains black for an unusually long period before showing the Windows login. This delay can last anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes, sometimes even longer. We have tried troubleshooting the problem multiple times, only to put it on hold out of frustration and revisit it on another day. It has been several months since we first encountered this issue. While I may not remember all the steps we've taken so far, I will update this post with any relevant information as it comes to mind. I recall running the DISM CheckHealth, ScanHealth, and RestoreHealth functions but forgot to run the SFC. I will have my child run that in the morning. Any additional suggestions or insights are greatly appreciated. I am willing to provide more details to assist anyone in troubleshooting this matter. Thank you all for your help!CharlesCarterNov 19, 2025Copper Contributor684Views0likes1CommentWindows 10 gets 6 years of ESU?
