In article , says... Is the information showing, or missing, on YOUR computer? It is showing on this HP laptop which came with Win10 over a year ago. The various upgrades since then have completed with little problems, the only thing of note is that the system font has reverted to standard. It shows Licensed to: Myname Hewlett-Packard Many thanks, Ken. :-) -- David B. |
