Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise after reset? Plus activation popup?

So my PC was originally Windows 8 Pro, and when the 10 upgrade came, I received Windows 10 Pro. After a couple years, I had some problems with BSODs, so I decided to do a full reset/reinstall of Windows + wiping my drives. I've done multiple resets in the past, but in my latest reset (5/14/18), during the setup I noticed I wasn't able to sign in to my personal Microsoft account. The only options were to either use a school/work email address or set up a local account. I picked local, and was able to sign into my Microsoft account later. Now, on the bottom right of my desktop is line of text that simply says: "Windows 10 Enterprise." Occasionally a settings menu would popup telling me to go to settings to activate Windows, but the settings tab it leads me to is completely blank.

What happened? Is this normal? How do I solve the activation message issue?

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
