WINDOWS ADVISOR<br />

FEATURE<br />

8. Activation Troubleshooter<br />

<strong>Windows</strong> 10 includes the ability to tie your <strong>Windows</strong> 10<br />

license to your Microsoft Account, rather than to your<br />

PC’s hardware. If <strong>Windows</strong> 10 proves troublesome after<br />

you upgrade your PC, go to Settings > Update & Security,<br />

add your Microsoft account (if it isn’t linked already), and<br />

then click Troubleshoot at the bottom of the screen.<br />

You’ll also fi nd a new Start fresh with a clean<br />

<strong>Windows</strong> install option alongside <strong>Windows</strong> 10’s Refresh<br />

and Reset tools, which goes even further than the other<br />

options by blasting away any bloatware preinstalled<br />

by your device manufacturer. You’ll be prompted to<br />

download a tool from Microsoft’s website in order to<br />

start the procedure, though.<br />
