If it's a SSD, you're pretty much screwed, we used to put 2.5" mechanical drives, (and larger) in the deep freeze, then try accessing them, just to recover data. Probably not a good idea with an intergral battery though...

My visits to the forum will be a little sketchy for a while. had a massive cardiac event two weeks ago. I'm lucky to be alive from what the surgeon and cardiologist say, lost me once, but modern tech got me back. Kind of a patched up ticker now, but still ticking,,,,,,,,

If you're still using Windows 8 or 8.1, to close an app you touch the top of the screen until the bar appears, then slide the window down 'till it flips, and then slide down the rest of the way. If you return to the desktop, use task manager to stop any open apps.

My FIRST PC, (I was a Commodore convert), had Windows 95C on it, and when it started up the boot image said Windows 97, came that way from the now defunct company.....

Twice that many, ha ha ha

I use Onedrive and Outlook apps on my LG Volt android phone. I use XML viewer from the playstore to link xml files to open in Android Firefox. Otherwise I don't do any real work with my cell.

A cat5e crossover cable will work directly from pc to pc, you can setup a peer to peer if both computers are on the same homegroup, just share the folder with the mp3's and drag and drop in explorer.

Check the onscreen keyboard, mine sometimes sticks the shift or control key, messes up touch and pen.

I assume you're not using the Surface keyboard/cover, it comes on when you pass your hand over it. The power cover has no backlight.

I too only use Windows Defender, however I scan once a week with Malwarebytes, just to be on the safe side.

I know I can hide the notification icon, but gwx.exe is still running, like to keep the background junk to a minimum. I think renaming the gwx folder might be the best idea, as long as windows upodate doesn't keep reinstalling it....

I don't want to remove the ability to upgrade, but I'd like to not have to go into task manager to shut off the notification. I also would like to have the option to NOT upgrade until I'm ready. Would prefer an iso image that I could save to upgrade when I'm ready.......

Windows XP doesn't natively support exfat drives, there is a update to give it the capability, if you can find it still. XP should have no problem with ntfs or fat32, even fat32 drives over 32gb. But it will only format fat32 up to 32gb.

Had 34 updates on my SP1, no firmware, everything went smooth..........

Kind of an old thread, but I just got a set of the 'Surface Ears' for my SP1, work great, cost about $20 with shipping. Wish that some retail outlets would pick them up, not just Amazon.

I'm at a loss, my Samsung usb DVD burner is model SE-218CB/RSBS mfg date august 2013, and it runs and burns fine on a single usb 3 or usb 2 connection to my surface pro 1. I did update the firmware from TS00 to TS01 with the tsst updater, but it worked before I did it. Beyond me....

Has anyone tried using Android86 on hyper-v on a surface pro? Just curious........

Yes, I'm using The Virgin Mobile Overdrive Pro, but with Windows 8.1.1 on my Surface Pro 1. I haven't seen the need to upgrade to a SP3 yet, Maybe when the SP4's come out and the price drops. It has been working flawlessly with the SP1.

What about the ethernet port on the Surface dock, will it support PXE boot?

I had a VM usb stick before I got the Sierra Wireless Pro. It never connected better than 3g, and was slow as dialup. Needed another option, as I won't pay $60 a month for cable internet, and needed something portable. I've been very pleased with my setup...
