s about initial configuration Questions on assembling the new build
You’re ready to configure your secondary storage effectively. For searching on your HDD using Cortana or Windows search, you’ll need to set up a dedicated folder—like a dedicated “Documents” or “Games” directory—on your HDD and ensure it’s recognized by Windows. This way, searches will focus on that specific location rather than scanning the entire drive. Regarding the formatted hard drive issue, double-checking for important files before formatting is wise; if you’re unsure, consider backing up critical data first or using a different method to recover it.
Product keys are typically delivered via email. If you have proof of purchase, request a new key through the product's support team. Regarding Windows searches, earlier versions scanned all connected storage devices. I haven’t explored the Windows 10 control panel yet, but it seems you could expand indexing to additional drives beyond just the operating system drive.
