    Windows 10 Pro Superkey?

    In 2018 I purchased 2 Windows 10 Pro "superkey" from ickywu. I believe a lot of forum members purchased keys from him with positive results. Yes... it took me this long to finally rebuild my system, lol. I was under the impression that a superkey has no expiration, so I got lax. Anyway...

    HTPC, need advice for tuner/DVR functionality.

    So, I've had my HTPC for many years. I had satellite TV in an area where nothing is available OTA, so never did any tuning or DVR functions. Now I'm in the city, with Comcast cable, and I'm already tired of the equipment rental fees and the limitations of said hardware. Current setup is...

    Windows 7 and 8 questions

    UPDATE: Did the live upgrade to 8.1 on the laptop. Seemed to go well. Then I noticed my display driver was hosed, printer driver was hosed, and it would not let me keep my "offline" profile. It would not boot Windows until I linked to an online account. Of course this required a second PC...
