    system password

    Honestly, the only time that you as the support staff would probably have any issue with Bitlocker, is when doing some certain things outside the machine- for instance making an image with older software that isn't compatible, etc. The situation you described, it just doesn't quite work that...

    Surface 3 antivirus

    While I know there are many folks who love Windows Defender, and I certainly wouldn't try to talk them out of it, to each their own- but Windows Defender is for the vigilant user only, period. I have made a nice sum from customers who paid me to clean their virus-ridden machines that had only...

    Netflix CEO Warns that a Price Increase is Coming in the Future

    I don't think most people will care about a small increase either. Also I personally have no issue paying a small increase (maybe a dollar or two??) for multiple streaming.

    Wow, even without the coffee mug there, I would still think that setup looks lawyer-ly! :D

    Bitlocker is whole-drive encryption. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/bitlocker-drive-encryption-overview (Edit- Ok technically it encrypts the whole Windows volume, in case some wish to make a differentiation...) You can disable it if need be.

    Attempted July updates - failed, wont boot, 0xc000021a

    Wow, bummer. Glad you got it sorted, but it blows that it happened at all. Something similar happened to me many months ago, when I very first went to Insider. My SP3 was all kinds of hosed, and I ended up just going back to 8.1 and waiting for a long time... :)

    system password

    You mentioned "stolen, misplaced, and security". For the first two, check out Prey (https://preyproject.com/), the first 3 devices are free, or you can of course use the much more well-known LoJack For Laptops (http://www.lojack.com/Laptops), but I believe they are pricier than Prey. But they...

    Can I Voice Type?

    I believe you can already do some things like this with Cortana, but I'm not sure. I would be very surprised if you couldn't user her in the near future for dictation. And I would expect hers to be a better experience as her results will be rendered server-side over an Internet connection...

    Imaging 100 SP3s with domain accounts

    I completely get that you're not trying to be difficult. At the same time, if you're not even passingly familiar with SCCM, then you should do some Googling in that regard. You're asking for information that is too broad and too much to bang out in a forum post.

    Imaging 100 SP3s with domain accounts

    Hi, welcome to the forum! Do you have any experience doing a deployment on a large scale? What is your server environment like? Here is a deployment guide specific to the SP3, should at least give you some idea of where to begin... https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45292

    system password

    Welcome to the forum. The Surface Pro 3 uses the UEFI, what you called the BIOS. It does not have a "system" password, and the admin password that you found only locks down the UEFI, not the system itself.
