My Windows 10 Pro version asks for activation
Hello, 
I wonder why my Windows 10 Pro version, upgraded from Windows 8.1, asks for activation(---> go to settings ) since 2 weeks. 
The notice pops up everytime I strart the laptop. 
I have read that the OS might become unstable if not"activated".. 
When checking, Windows is activated, and the key seems to be valid, but with a digital license "provided by "Your Organization"" 
Is there a way around it, without wiping the drive and install "new "Windows 10 Pro ? I did make a back up copy with Auslogics Bitreplica on a WD drive though.. 
Thank you for any answer that may show a solution. 
Many regards,

Windows Upgrade Error 0x8007042B
Hi 
I am using the BoostSpeed11 product prior to an effort to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. 
I have tried before using the product but get the error message 0x8007042B-0x3000D Failure to migrate data on first boot. 
I have just cleaned up the zero bytes folders, traces and duplicate files. 
There is some thought that antivirus should be stopped while attempting the upgrade. I am presently using Eset internet security. 
When performing the migrate data upgrade are all the files carried over? How much should be backed up? 
Any hints you can provide will be gold. 
In the event that I finally get the upgrade done which of your products should I install, and is it OK to leave the product I have 
installed while performing the upgrade? 
Eset has logged the driver checker of yours as a pup.What's the go there? 
Regards 
Petar

Microsoft Office Formulas not working correctly
when formulating a two page expression, the first page is not reading the second expression. I have given you the two formulas - I would hopefully like to have this sorted; if possible. 
the first one should denote the year: In this case 2020 
=IF(MONTH($A$5)<>MONTH($A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1)),"",$A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1)) 
The second shouldgive me the first day of the year: 
=IF(MONTH($A$5)<>MONTH($A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1)),"",$A$5-(WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))-IF((WEEKDAY($A$5,1)-($I$2-1))<=0,7,0)+(ROW(A7)-ROW($A$7))*7+(COLUMN(A7)-COLUMN($A$7)+1)) 
Question, is this even possible?
How to delete Windows.old folder?
Hello¨ 
The PC had Update to 2004 Versione, now has the PC ond big 30GB Windows.old folder. why can i the folder delete
PC startup takes too long
If I have to restart, it takes 20 minutes or more to load completely. I have basically nothing in startup and can't figure out what is making this take so long. It's the same whether a restart or new start. The hard drive is only a little over half full with lots of pictures. Logically it has to be in either ASUS or windows (10). It's very frustrating and because it takes so long to load, I leave it running. For quite a few years I paid for a service that cleaned the system once a month and helped with any problem. I am no longer using it as it was expensive and even though I stressed the startup time issue, they never improved it. 
You can see a lot about the machine, but it doesn't say it's an ASUS 15" laptop, purchased in September of 2014, model R510LAVS51 with core i5 
I didn't know if you needed this, but I'd rather give you unnecessary information than have you come back to me. 
thanks so much

Why is Windows product key hidden?
Hi, I have AuslogicsBoostSpeed 11 licensed on 3 computers. 2 computers, the oldest, have windows 8.1 PRO. Newer computers have Windows 10 PRO. In the SOFTWARE-SYSTEM INFORMATION-OPERATING SYSTEM section the product key normally appears while on the PC with W10PRO the alphanumeric character string of the product key is covered with the capital B letters. I wanted to know why the code is hidden before it appeared. Thanks for the reply. Alex
keep losing saved tabs after running BoostSpeed
Hi. For both Microsoft Edge and Google browsers whenever I run Boostspeed after that the tabs i spent hours setting up all disappera and its like the first time running the browser. That used to happen with Firefox browser but not anymore and I have no idea why that one works ok. Is there a way to set up Boostspeed so it NEVER deletes exsiting tabs. I run multiple businesses and have tabs for all suppliers opened and easy to access. I like Auslogics products but why are they set by default to wipe our existing saved tabs and how do I prevent that? Version of browser does not seem to matter. Is there a way I can save tab structure on a browser in case this happens and recover it? Thanks - Brad Fry
How to clean WinSxS Folder?
On my Win10 desktop - running Build 19044.1618 - the WinSxS folder has grown to 12 GB. Windows Slimmer as well as dism.exe Cleanup show 6 GB thereof as obsolete. However, neither Windows Slimmer nor dism.exe do a cleanup. Any idea how to get rid of those obsolete 6 GB? 
Best regards/HMeihoefer
