Windows 10 Re-Set

[Coppit]

Since I was made to undergo this lengthy update about 2 months ago, with loss of programs incl Word which I had to buy again. It all works OK but I never get a change of desktop image as used to happen every few weeks. Has anybody any idea as to what this change was all about and should I be suspicious of what I now have.

You can set both your lock screen, and background screen, to "slideshow" in settings. Open settings (little cogged wheel icon) after either engaging the "windows" key on keyboard or clicking the "windows" icon bottom left screen.

After you have entered "settings" click "Personalisation" and choose your background and lock screen options.

Get ready for another major Windows 10 update.

The Windows 10 Spring Creators Update is due to ship soon, maybe even from tomorrow, April 10th.

This is a complete replacement of Windows 10 so will be another major update.

Note that not everyone will start getting it from tomorrow, it will be a phased update, so will happen bit by bit over the next few months.

However anyone keen to get it as soon as possible can download it if they wish, just search for Windows 10 Spring Creators Update.

In fact if they had already bought Office (or Word) then I assume they would have had an Office / Word product key.

If so there are official places (Microsoft web sites) where you can download Office code for free (for a reinstall) if your already have the product key.

No need to buy Office or Word again.

Here is a Microsoft web site where you can download all the various versions off Office code for reinstall if you already have the product key.

Note I have not checked all the links so cant verify they all work

I didn't find Open office as easy to get on with as the devil I know.
I'm not bothered about the desktop image other than that new ones no longer arrive leading me to wonder why. I'll wait and see what happens with the new upgrade.

There are choices of background and lock screen images in settings Coppit. You can change them or add your own and set them to change by selecting Slideshow.

Sorry to divert Coppit, just wanted to tell Guilbert that I am ready to go with the "Spring Creators" version.
