Segmentation Fault posted:The only thing I'm aware of that's missing from Pro but is present in Home is Microsoft Spotlight, which is a special lock screen that changes once a day and gives you neat images you might like. Nothing really important but I'd still like it. Spotlight is also supposed to show suggestions for Windows Store apps and Tips & Tricks. Availability could also be region specific.

D. Ebdrup posted:Does Windows 10 Storage Spaces also feature what I believe they call double or dual parity for RAID6-like redundancy, and how does it preform? Yes (with at least 7 disks). https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn387076.aspx#bkmk_dualparity Unfortunately Storage spaces become really usable if you use powershell to create the disks. Or use a three way mirror. Remember that there are two types of mirrored stage spaces: 1)Striped with number of columns more than 1. 2)unstriped with one column.

YF19pilot posted:I've got a 5 year old laptop running Windows 7. I'm thinking of building a new desktop and want to know if it'd be possible to use the Windows 7 Key from the laptop on the new computer. Like, if I made an install disk from the laptop, or if I imaged the hard drive from the laptop onto the desktop and upgraded the desktop to Windows 10, would that work? Also, would it cause any kind of authentication issues if I decided to keep the laptop until it finally breaks; that is, would using the desktop and the laptop simultaneously cause authentication/licensing issues? If the laptop came with Windows 7 then probably no (as in this case the activation was from a combination of key in bios, key in windows and a certificate). If windows was bought and installed separately then yes.

Theoretically, iTunes could integrate itself with Cortana, but I don't believe an SDK for doing that has even been released, yet. The VLC beta http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2016/Announcing-VLC-for-UWP-2.0 supposedly has Cortana support.

Look at start button - it's a small icon in a middle of large square. The empty space around icon is almost the size of icon itself. In Windows 8.1 the icons were larger and whitespace on top and bottom smaller.
