    Before I start using the "Cloud Gaming" service...

    I've no experience, but why not try local streaming with the box app first just to see how the s3 handles it.

    New Member trying Windows for the first time since XP :)

    Welcome to the forum! Windows 10 is very different to windows XP, yet at the same time, I still find it very familiar. You've chosen a good time to give it a go. It was a bit of a mess when first released, which naturally put a lot of people off. Not the case any more. Easily my favourite OS now.

    Surface Pro 3 - best computer I've owned

    I can't say that the SP3 is the best I've ever owned, that would go to the SP4, but it's only margionally better than the SP3 due to little things like better thermal design, screen etc. However, I gave my SP3 to my partner, and despite its age, it is still quite the workhorse for the form...

    This is for you if you take extensive notes -- any good solutions on finding/structuring/sorting?

    We have no solution because we have no problem. The issue clearly lies with you, not the software.

    Surface 3 and Facebook.

    I have the same on the sp4. facebook just sucks. If your business is photography, surely something like instagram would be a more effective platform?

    USB Problem

    I'd wait to hear from a more qualified individual before buying anything (although you can of course return if it doesn't work). But there have been many instances of the surface line not being able to power up certain USB devices. My partner was unable to use her old iPhone with her sp3 for...

    USB Problem

    Welcome kbrown. I can't really offer a solution, but is it possible that the harddrive is drawing more power than the usb port can provide? Is this a new drive, or did it previously work and is now messing around? I've an sp4 and upon plugging my new samsung s7 into it, it works just like...

    This is for you if you take extensive notes -- any good solutions on finding/structuring/sorting?

    The exact same way I would search for something on Google. It very much sounds like your use of search terms is the issue, not the software. To use the example of cats, why would I search "cat", that will get me nothing but vague and numerous results. If I know I'm searching for a document...

    This is for you if you take extensive notes -- any good solutions on finding/structuring/sorting?

    My flow? Don't really know what that means. I've used mine for university, so 3 notebooks each with around 12 sections, and about 40-80 pages in each section. I simply search for what I'm after just as I would on Google. If I searched cat on Google the results would be equally vague. I know...

    This is for you if you take extensive notes -- any good solutions on finding/structuring/sorting?

    Are we talking the onenote app, or the desktop version? I took extensive notes every day for 3 years and never once had an issue with organizational or searching. As to constraints and limits, the desktop version of onenote has more features and abilities than I can possibly know what to do with.

    I can't offer why it is doing g it, but can confirm that it is fully compatible

    Sacrificed SP3 for Data

    Welcome to the forum. This is why my documents folders are synced with onedrive. Never have to worry about loss of data.

    How to check for GPS hardware?

    My mistake. I'd forgotten there was the S3 LTE.

    Squishy Screen

    SP4 has gorilla glass 4 apparently (although not many google results confirming this so don't take this post as fact :))

    How to check for GPS hardware?

    The surface 3 has never had GPS hardware.

    Squishy Screen

    I've had a 3 and 4 (sp4 certainly has a softer feel to it, I imagine to make inking feel more natural). Never had an issue, and my devices do not get mollycoddled. Just chuck them in a sholder bag rubbing up against pens, brass zippers etc. I think that it is something you really don't need to...

    What's a fair price?

    No idea. Best bet is just to check ebay, including completed listings

    Pro 3 keyboard work on Pro 4 ?

    Keyboard will have no effect. If the machine is new then it may be slower while it performs various updates and background tasks in the first few days.

    close all open word files execpt current one in word 2010

    Welcome to the forum. I'm unaware of any method of doing this. Is there any reason you can't install something like openoffice (or office 365 word app) and using that for the single file, and then open all the rest with desktop office?
