    Always Re-Login to these forums necessary: Extended expiration of cookie possible?

    Whenever I return after a couple of days to these forums I have to re-login again although I specified "Stay login" I guess this is because forum admins set the cookie validity to only 3 days or so. Can the cookie expiration period be set to e.g. 4 weeks? Thank you Peter

    Windows 10 Windows 10 product code.

    I have my product code for windows 10. I want to wait till it is more stable and games support it. Will the code expire? Because I have it written down. And I hear after a year it stops? So do I have to get it for it to activate? Or can I just keep the code and Install it at a later date.
