Thanks for the information solo. I tried it first and it did not work properly but the reason was the card was defective (bought on eBay). I bought another one from Newegg and it was perfect. I don't know how to measure the speed but it seems fast enough for storing and playing MP3 files.

Thanks guys. I formatted it to NTFS and it works great (Samsung 64gb micro SDXC), I did not measure the speed but the card materials says it is 20 MB/S write 70MB/s write.

Does anyone knows what is the right formatting type for the SD card on Surface 2 (NTFS or exFAT). I looked up the user guide and did not find any information. Thanks

I am sorry for posting this on the wrong forum, I have a Surface 2 with Windows RT 8.1, not an SP2. Maybe I should post a new thread on the S2 forum.

I have also purchase a Samsung 64GB microsdxc (80MB read / 20MB write speed) for my SP2 but not sure if it needs to be format it first before use or I can use it as is. Also if formatted, can I use NTFS formatting instead of ex-FAT file format?

Thank you so much, that was easy. I was trying to do that in the Metro interface and did not think about the desktop mode.

I have not figured put yet how to view the battery meter and remaining % on Surface 2, it could be because I am new to Windows 8. I can see a battery symbol on the lock screen next to the WiFi connectivity but no indication of the remaining power %. When i click it, it disappears showing the...

Thanks beman. This is really unbelievable price.

Which Model? and is it Wireless?

My printer (Lexamrk X7675) is about 4 years old and not listed in the printers of Windows 8 RT. I also tried to add the printer over the HomeGroup network connection but I receive an error message that this printer is not supported. I guess I will need to buy a new wireless printer if I need to...

I have a HomeGroup on my home WiFi network with a Lexmark X7675 wireless printer that is included in the HomeGroup, so I can print witlessly from my laptop which has Windows 7. Now I am trying to do the same from my Surface 2 which also joined the HomeGroup but cannot print. Tried to use the...

Found the problem by searching online, the Windows 7 registry key that needed to be modified to allow IPV6 for the HomeGroup creation. Brilliant. Here is the link if someone needs it: Homegroup - IPv6 absolutely required? - Windows 7 Help Forums

My main PC (Laptop) has Windows 7 running and I have a D-Link wireless router (dual band). I deleted the existing home group but now when I am trying to create a new Home Group I get a warning message that Home Group requires Internet Protocol version 6 (IPV6) to be enabled and asks to...

I have received my Surface 2 yesterday and began playing with it, it is an awesome tablet. I was able to connect to my home WiFi network and surf the internet but I am unable to join the HomeGroup network to share files and use the printer. :confused: Tried several times using the HomeGroup...

:shocked: You are right Oion, I missed the point on this one. I guess we need another thread On First Time buyer of Surface 2!

I pre-ordered the Surface 2 with 64GB and Type 2 keyboard. The reasons for ordering Surface 2 are quite reasonable for me: 1. This is my first tablet and I needed a very light weight and attractive tablet with a long battery life to last for at least 9-10 hours 2. I needed to experience Windows...

True, no one except MS knows how many units are sold in the first two weeks. How about Apple claiming the sold 9 Million I-Phone 5 in the first 3 days? I guess they all do similar marketing to generate interest.

Microsoft says Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 are NEARLY SOLD OUT 'No way they're gathering dust this time, honest!' Microsoft says Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 are NEARLY SOLD OUT ? The Register

This is a very convincing argument :shocked

Thank you guys very much for your input, I think a 3-point touch is the most I will need. I do not do any graphic work or use Photoshop, so I will be fine without the stylus. I love the looks of Surface 2 and I appreciate it weighs less than 2 pounds and can be used for a day on battery, this is...
