The Surface 3 is not fast enough to use in presenting, IMO. It is a great device but just not much lag if you are going to use it in front of a classroom. I would buy (I did) a Core i5 SP3 on Ebay with 8GB of RAM. You can get them between $650-$750. Get one without a keyboard and buy a new...

I am so sold on this form factor that I bought a SP3 to complement my S3. The S3 is just not powerful enough for intensive situations or for running anything more than Onenote, word processing and watching videos. For me, the S3 will be a tablet for reading and video watching and...

By the way of your question, I don't think I could have done a recovery from the 8.1 image. I waited well past the 30-day downgrade window so I presumed that I had to start all over again. Is it possible that I had an 8.0 or 8.1 image from the factory sitting in a partition? Sheesh, I wasted...

Yes, this was a Windows 8.1 (I think, not 8.0) ISO from Microsoft. I'm not entirely certain that it is not upgrading to 8.1 now given the size of these updates it is processing. So once I installed the ISO from the USB stick, I had no drivers. No touchscreen and no wireless card. This meant...

This was more of an adventure than I bargained for. In case anyone else tries this, in order to get the USB Windows 8 setup to run, I could not just double-click on the "setup" icon on the USB stick. Instead, I had to restart the device holding the volume down button. This loaded Windows 8...

I am doing this now. I followed the link posted by GreyFox. Also, I found my product license key by using a script in a command line. (I found the script by searching Google. My key popped right up.) Here is how I found my key: Open a command prompt as administrator and type: wmic path...

thanks! should be simple since not much i cant easily reinstall.

Windows 10 would not talk to my NAS and would not work with the Lenovo internal microphone. There are many other issuer with it. Trying to change the window size with a stylus pen is murder.

Why are you so sure I will have driver issues if I downgrade? The more I use Windows 10 on my Surface and 8.1 on my Lenovo Yoga, the more I prefer 8.1. I think I'm going to downgrade. It won't take me that long to rebuild the system. I just have to figure out how to do it.

I had to go back to 8.1 on my Yoga thinkpad because the drivers on 10 were so messed up. Took me days to realize it was 10 that was the issue with Lenovo. What I learned in the process was that 8.1 kills 10 for tablets or hybrids. It's also more stable. Wonder if I can downgrade my Surface 3...

I do feel light-headed. But I had my device next to me playing Klitchko boxing match. (Sure to put you to sleep.) I turned off the video in the middle of the night because it woke me up. This morning it was running my podcast program OK, and then I could see it was starting to update. There...

It must have reinstalled Windows 10. When I go to my update history it shows that there had been no updates installed. I must have installed a fresh version of Windows 10 that did not require any updates. All of my applications are still there. Maybe Microsoft is so desperate to get people to...

This is very freaky. A voice that says "Getting your PC ready. This might take a few minutes. Don't turn off your PC." Then there is script on the screen "We've got some new features to get excited about." Maybe MS is rolling out an update in California before other places. That is the...

I will find out soon but I think in my sleep I somehow hit something that told it to reinstall Windows 10. It says "Updating Windows" and "Your PC will restart several times." It's been 2 hours. "Copying files Installing features and drivers." "Configuring settings."

Am I the only one getting an hour long update to Windows? I'm afraid my battery is going to drain before it is finished. I'm afraid it's reinstalling Windows 10.

The pen. Bluetooth connection unreliable and top button never works. On screen keyboard is just atrocious. Splot keyboard too little. Plit. Splot. Split. Fourth attempt to type Splot. Split!

Thisis an important setting. Ifthe audio is good enough you want to use it. It amplifies the sound.It does cause some distortion.

Edge was much slower and buggier than Chrome, I am finding after going back. A virus or something took over the Edge browser. It's the one that tries to get you to call an 800 number. Audio wouldnt always play or the keyboard wouldnt pop up. Lots of bugs.

I am dictating this message via Dragon naturally speaking. I'm using a USB headset which seems to be very effective. The only other application I am running is Edge. It is a little bit lagging in its performance but it is more than acceptable for productivity purposes. It certainly is more...

Kundas, I think that we are kindred spirits because I also had the blackberry device is my very first tablet. Indeed, it did have a very subtle rubber gasket around the front bezel. I agree that the tethering with the handset (before BB 10) was the best ever. Now that I look back I wonder if...
