    Messaging "app"

    Selecting a phone message from the notification center the messaging application download site in the Windows store opens up. If I select launch from this page the application opens but I can't send any messages. I have a 950XL and Surface 2, 3 & 4 computers as well as older computers with 10...

    Surface pro 4 pen with surface pro 3?

    Many thanks for the replies. I've gone through the trouble shooting on the MS web site and the LED on the side of the pen will not illuminate. Everything that I've bought from MS has always been bullet proof so this is a surprise.

    Surface pro 4 pen with surface pro 3?

    Is this possible? When the SP4 pen was released I remember reports that it was compatible. I can't get it to pair. Many thanks

    Tim Cook, Larry Page & Tech CEOs Hold Secret Meeting with Top Republicans about Donald Trump

    One of Trump's goals is to end copyright infringement in foreign countries. The US based companies will benefit greatly from this work. They need to stop taking advice from politicians that have driven our economy into the ground and start listening to and considering the vision that Trump has...

    SMS App for 8.1 & 10

    The short answer for this is that there is no application available at present other than Verizon messages. Daniel Rubino has posted an answer that says wait for 6 months. Thereafter we should be able to use Skype for messaging on the computer.

    SMS App for 8.1 & 10

    I'm using Continuum with my 950xl and a television display. If I could connect my phone to my Surface and have the computer display continuum as another desktop this would be the perfect solution. It would allow the software that I need on the phone to change and continued control. The continuum...

    SMS App for 8.1 & 10

    I've left Verizon for the 950xl. This has been a good move with the exception of losing Verizon messages app. I appreciate suggestions on what you have used and like for the Surface to send AND receive text messages. I'm using a Windows phone, so there are some applications that don't work...

    Blue tooth mouse recommendation SP4

    I use it as a traditional mouse for Office applications It may not be the best for applications that require continuous use or heavy pressure that would be prone to folding it up.

    Blue tooth mouse recommendation SP4

    The blue tooth Surface Arc mouse is absolutely perfect. It folds flat for pocket storage, has a long battery life and most importantly it works as a mouse perfectly. Write your name on it with a Sharpie so you will have a chance to get it back if you leave it somewhere.

    SMS in Windows VS Skype

    I've been waiting for Skype to become something that I can use for SMS and can't wait any longer. I've moved from Verizon and miss the Messages application. What is everyone using? I'm disappointed with Skype. It is my impression that it is not useful unless all parties are on it and they...

    With the Lumia 950/XL and Windows 10 Mobile now a reality, what do you think of Microsoft's chances?

    I'm on 8.1 with SP3 (awaiting the place holders that are promised in red stone) and 10 on everything else. I've been using a 950XL since release. I think that the Surface line is better on a daily a basis and a result, the chances that consumers will consider a phone by Microsoft are improving...

    Wireless Keyboard Adapter

    I had hoped that the SP4 would bring a blue tooth keyboard with it. I use the wireless display adapter and a separate blue tooth keyboard in combination with hotel TVs for an office. Is there a chance that I could replace the NiMH battery in this adapter and get a longer life? It would be...

    Reverted back to 8.1 - didnt like Win 10

    I switched back to 8.1 when possible on everything (Yoga 13 will not update from 8 to 8.1). My main computer is a SP3 with a dock at work and at home. If you use a touch screen the new OS feels like a move in the wrong direction. If you use OneDrive extensively it again feels like a move in...

    Windows 10 default save location

    Back on 8.1 on all of my computers. Was never able to stop the computer from trying to sync all of my Onedrive files to my hard drive. They would never load the list of files to sync allowing selection of the the files that I wanted to sync and the hard drive would fill quickly and then stop...

    Who's getting one?

    10 is behind 8.1 in my hands on a Surface. If the OS tines up or the option for 8.1 on a larger screen, faster hybrid is available I'll get some.

    Windows 10 default save location

    This really motivated my return to 8.1. I have a TB on One Drive and 10 endlessly tried to get this on my C drive. I was also unable to default save to One Drive.

    Windows 10. Love it or hate it?

    No pain going back. I had already deleted the restoration partition for 8.1 so I used the option for restore that is described as "use this if you are going to recycle your PC". When a screen presents the choice of erasing the TMP "American Megatrends" go ahead and erase it. I set the SP3 up as...
