I have redirected all my Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, and Videos to my SD card. I've been doing so for several years and it has worked great. I periodically backup all the items on the card to an external USB drive.

I do not have a Surface Book but I would suspect the mini DP / HDMI adapters as one doesn't work and the other is slow. From what I read you have tried them from both the SB and the dock with the same result. I would try a different cable or adapter.

I too have a 128GB microSD card formatted with NTFS mounted as D: with my Documents, Music, Pictures, Video, and Download folders, as well as my Outlook .pst files. I have been using this for several years with no issues at all. I do periodically copy these folders to an external hard drive...

Your setup in that configuration won't do anything as there is no input power going to the Surface. The surge protector you specified takes AC power from the plug on the back and feeds it to the three AC outlets on the front while providing power to the two USB ports. If it isn't plugged into...

I have the original Surface Pro and experienced the same problem whether it was asleep or powered down via the on screen power down. I finally setup a shortcut for shutdown -s -t 0 (zero) that I use when I shutdown and have not experienced the problem since. An update may have addressed the...

I've used the HP Slim Bluetooth mouse for years. It has a nice feel, fits in the bag well, and has excellent battery life (uses a single AA).

It is shutdown -s -t 0 the 0 is a zero Try running it first from a command prompt.

I have the original Surface Pro and did have some power down issues initially (years ago). I created a batch file and put a link on the Start Screen. shutdown -s -t 0 I've had no issues since. They may have had a fix but this has worked beautifully for me. I also added a restart link too...

I stumbled across this as an active topic. It worked great on my Surface Pro with Win 8.1. Definitely need to look a the post date and applicable systems.

I too purchased a 2nd power supply with my Surface Pro on the original order. I went through the recall process several weeks ago using the serial number on my Surface Pro. The replacement cord arrived a few days later. I then contacted Microsoft about a replacement cord for my 2nd power...

They are identical cords both, in their words, defective items. You can view the picture of the defective cord on their recall page. The power supply doesn't make any difference. It's the cord itself they have deemed as unsafe and are replacing. If the purchase was made prior to the date...

I contacted tech support on a chat and they found that the serial number for my "spare" power supply indicated it was out of warranty and the cord wasn't eligible for the recall. I explained that warranty had nothing to do with it and if the cord on the power supply included with my Surface Pro...

I setup a workaround to get to IE11 directly. I used Edge to browse to a site I wanted as my IE11 Homepage. Click on ... (More actions) and click on Open with Internet Explorer. Click on Tools and click on Add site to Apps. Go to Apps, right click the icon and select Pin to Start. You now...

I use the HP Slim Bluetooth Mouse. The footprint is about the normal size but it is flat. Packs nice in the bag and is comfortable to use.

I've been using the HP Slim Bluetooth Mouse for over a year now and it has worked flawlessly.

I relocated my entire Music folder to the microSD. Right click on Music, select Properties, click on the Location tab, and click the Move button. Tell it what folder on the microSD (mine is D:\Music) and everything is moved there. Did the same with Pictures and Videos. It's been working great.

I use the HP Slim Bluetooth Mouse. An excellent product. I've never had a moments trouble and the slim design fits the bag nicely.

Aren't the adaptors being suggested use this very "standard"? From previous posts supremekizzle used a combo headset/mic from his PS4 and olimjj used a peanut microphone from his original iPod, and the Surface recorded correctly. Looks like Microsoft conformed their connector to this...

Here's some information on the connector pin out. Where things get interesting is in how the conductors are used. There was some initial disagreement about the wiring. Nokia & Lenovo Mobile adopted one approach (OMTP) while Apple and the rest-of-the-known-universe adopted another (AHJ). In...

I think you are on the right track with the adapter to convert the microphone you have to the proper contacts on the audio jack. With four connectors you will have ground, left out, right out, and mic in. I don't recall which is which on the jack. It is not a stereo mic input. The combo jack...
