Your Microsoft order of Windows 10 Pro (But without Product Key) ? I have upgraded Windows 10 Pro from Windows 10 Home Edition on Sep 16, 2015 and I received confirmation email from Microsoft. I did not receive Product Key but the order confirmation email with Order ID. I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro from "Add features to Windows 10" in Control Panel. So the purchase was done smoothly and my computer was upgraded to Windows 10 Pro without needing to input any product key. And now I have done a fresh Windows 10 reinstall and couldn't find key to get to Windows 10 Pro. I am currently stuck with Windows 10 Home edition. I have contacted a lot of support staff, may be like 10 of them, and some support says that they do not find any purchase history under my mentioned email account when I can log in with my Microsoft Account and see the transaction as "Completed" under "Purchase History" in Microsoft page. If anyone had ever experienced this kind of frustration, please do share with me and help me how to get on. The last option I can do is file charge back from my bank for the payment. I am really shock to see Microsoft have such poor system for payment tracking. How do I reinstall Windows 10 pro. If the computer was activated there is no longer a need for a key. If asked for a key just go to the bottom of the page and click on Skip, Do this later, or I do not have one.

  • Optimizing Windows 10, Build 2004, for a Virtual Desktop Role
    Optimizing Windows 10, Build 2004, for a Virtual Desktop role Written by Robert M. Smith, Program Manager, Azure Global Customer Engineering Date Created: May 12, 2020 Date Updated: July 08, 2020 Date Published: tbd Contributors: Tim Muessig, Senior Premier Field Engineer; Narklis Engler, Principal Program Manager Version 1.2 Document Change History Version Changes 1.0 Adding verbiage for Windows Virtual Desktop, and Windows 10 build 2004 specifically 1.1 Additional updates for 2004 1.2 Final pass, updated group policy, services, tasks, and added info about Storage Sense for disk cleanup. Introduction This article is intended to provide suggestions for configurations for Windows 10, build 2004, for optimal performance in Virtualized Desktop environments, including Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD). All settings in this guide are suggested optimization settings only and are in no way requirements. The information in this guide is pertinent to Windows 10, version 2004, operating system (OS) build 19041. The guiding principles to optimize performance of Windows 10 in a virtual desktop environment are to minimize graphic redraws and “effects”, background activities that have no major benefit to the virtual desktop environment, and generally reduce running processes to the bare minimum. A secondary goal is to reduce disk space usage in the base image to the bare minimum. With virtual desktop implementations, the smallest possible base, or “gold” image size, can slightly reduce memory utilization on the host system, as well as a small reduction in overall network operations required to deliver the desktop environment to the consumer. No optimizations should reduce the user experience.
