    Got a new PC build and cannot launch Windows 10


    I just got a new PC Build and am using two SSDs from my old PC in it.One of those SSDs has Windows 10 installed on it, which I was using until I got the new PC.The other SSD has Windows 11 on it, which was last used more than 2 years ago.I wanted to boot into Windows 10 and upgrade it to Windows 11, so all of my file structure would be kept the exact same.But my BIOS recognizes the Windows 10 SSD as an HDD and only lets me boot into Windows 11.What can I do, to boot into Windows 10?

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
