    Recommended Inexpensive USB 3.0 Hub for SP1

    I've had 2 and neither lasted very long. I'm using Seagate Wireless Plus and a WD Passport. A Belkin USB 3.0 powered 4 port hub and an Inland 3 port + 2 USB 3.0 powered hub. Both worked flawlessly for about 3 weeks then quit. At first I thought the drive had failed because of a clicking sound...

    Help with pico projector purchase

    I apologize, for reasons unknown I'm not getting notifications when people post replies. I like the Brookstone. I'm using it for DVD quality videos. I knew the quality level when I bought it. I have a 720p projector I use when friends come over to watch movies. I wanted portability over image...

    Do Windows Apps Have Any Future?

    I'm curious. Why would anyone go to the trouble of developing or updating a Windows "modern" app considering the current environment. As I understand it, the current "Universal" app was supposed to bridge the environments between Windows Phone, Windows RT and regular Windows. It appears Windows...

    Surface 3 sleeve

    I have an Incipio Chi Buy Incipio Chi Surface Sleeve (Denim) - Microsoft Store I'm happy with it although it's a little longer than the Surface 3. One nice feature that I have not seen mentioned anywhere, it has a pen loop inside the pouch.

    Help with pico projector purchase

    What ever you do, check the specs here Projectors, Projector Reviews, LCD Projectors, Home Theater DLP Projectors at ProjectorCentral.com first. The advertised specs are almost always misleading. Just because it says 720p means the projector can accept 720p video and project it, but not...

    OneDrive files. What is the position of Microsoft ?

    The system needs to be on and connected to the Internet for files to appear in the web version. Did you allow enough time for the files to be copied? If you see blue circular arrows in the corner of the file icon in Windows 8.1, it has not finished copying the file.

    Well, now I am sold

    I was shopping for a tablet when I bought my first Surface. Now I've got a kluge that doesn't work well in either environment. I will never understand the logic of destroying the desktop experience in Windows 8 and now destroying the tablet experience in Windows 10. If Continuum can switch...

    Reverted back to 8.1 - didnt like Win 10

    I whole heartedly agree. Don't apologize. Say-it brother, and Say-it out loud! Make sure Microsoft hears you. While people were ranting about how awful Windows 8.1 was I kept quiet. Now, I'm afraid I'm stuck with Windows 10 and no future for Modern apps. I want a tablet, not a laptop.

    Windows 10 and Metro Interface Win 8.1

    Couldn't agree more (I feel like that kicked dog, by the way). It's possible too, the people who like Windows 8.1 weren't loud enough to get the message across. Windows 10 is a huge disappointment for someone like me who wanted a tablet instead of a laptop. Windows 8.1 wasn't perfect but it...

    Share your wallpapers

    Can someone tell me where I can get the Cortana Circle Lock Screen from Build that looks like this? I want the wallpaper not the other Windows 10 features. Thanks

    Who is using Windows 10 on Surface 3?

    I installed it. Ran for three days and was miserable. Edge was unstable. Looking at all the updates that have been coming out since the "release" indicates it is still in beta. I'm back to W8.1 and happy with it. I'll try again in October after the big second wave roll out.

    Transferring files via USB Cable.

    This might work. http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Driverless-Data-Transfer-Cable/dp/B004GIGNVC/ref=pd_sim_147_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0VF8YK6R9275B27JZBBS It uses USB to transfer files when moving to a new PC. It works with Microsoft's Easy Transfer in Start -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Windows Easy...

    I don't like Windows 10

    I'm now enjoying my second Surface with Windows 8.1. I like the way it works as a tablet. I don't need another desktop computer - portable or otherwise. I like Live Tiles. They give me lots of information at a glance. I like full screen apps when using a tablet. I like controls that are easy to...

    Poll Windows 10 - Yes - No - Maybe

    I upgraded my Surface 3 to W10 but it was so unstable I went back to W8.1. On my desktop I'm running W7 and may not install W10 even though I was running the earlier versions on it. I've heard that some early UEFI systems may have problems installing W10.

    Windows 10 Issues

    Windows 10 installed easily enough on my Surface 3 besides, the usual beta flakiness with various apps, it seems to be fairly good. Some people have noted worse battery life and increased CPU usage while at the start screen...

    swipe from the left in browser?

    Are you kidding? They took it out???!!!! I use it ALL the time. It's why I prefer the touch browser over the desktop.

    Should I Trade for a Different Typecover Color

    Since the cover doesn't protect the back of my Surface, I keep it in a sleeve. They both stay pretty clean. I have the Cyan cover, BTW. I wouldn't mind having a black one for a different, more professional look.

    Startup Questions

    I had a Surface RT and traded it in for a Surface 3. My questions are about differences in behavior when starting up. The Surface RT would show the lock screen if I opened the typepad. I did not have to push the power button. The Surface 3 will sometimes show the lock screen when the typepad...

    Touch cover 2 woes

    I've had similar problems with the keypad and touchpad since the very beginning. I don't believe Microsoft ever fully resolved all the driver issues associated with the position of the keypad on Surface RT. Some early problems were resolved but others persisted until I traded it in last week.
