    HELP : SP3, WIN10, DOCK, No Local Area Connection

    Also in the course of troubleshooting, I would go into Device Manager and uninstall and reinstall the adapter, first try leave the driver intact, if it still doesn't work remove the driver as well when uninstalling the adapter, then "check for new hardware" and let it reinstall.

    Complaint about quality

    I think the lemon policy mostly applies to devices that are still under warranty. Which is, "we want to be able to repair the thing x number of times before we replace it with a new one". For almost every device, once the manufacturer's warranty is up (1 year for Surfaces), you're stuck. I...

    Solved Downloading Restore Image from Microsoft

    The download page has been broken for at least 2 months now, I myself experienced it also. I have no idea why Microsoft can't take it upon themselves to fix it, especially when it's linked to in their own support documentation. For now, I'm afraid your only option is to call the support people...

    Solved How to save your data from a universal app and transfer it to a different computer?

    Hey Ethan, Sonic Dash is made by Hardlight. I'd suggest you reach out to them directly first, as they stand the best chance of helping you I would think. Hardlight

    recovery on Surface3

    If you're fully updated, then you can go here -http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 It looks like it's for creating a USB installer, but it will also get the download going for you. Look about halfway down the page, "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool".

    What's the best battery life you've gotten from your SP3?

    Close to you, 5.5. to 7 hours. I keep the brightness around 40%.

    Will the dGPU make much difference for me?

    I can't see it. For the Office stuff, no way. Photoshop can use the GPU, but I don't know about CS3. And even then I don't think I'd be worried about THAT unless you were doing any kind of 3-D stuff. Someone else will probably have better input than mine, but I personally wouldn't do it for...

    Will you go MS all the way to phone if you already have surface book?

    Honestly, it's whatever works best for you. Do you see yourself actually using or needing the Continuum feature? Is the feature worth switching up for you, since you seem to be happy with your iPhone? If you DO try it, and don't like it, how difficult will it be $$$-wise for you to go back...

    Solved Is my email an EAS message

    Oz, EAS in this means Exchange Active Sync, which generally means "connecting to an Exchange email server". If you haven't been using Active Sync before now, then probably your email account is not the EAS variety.

    Sp3 power cord compatible with sp1?

    Hey hastyle, You can probably get that cord locally, the part that you're describing, from the wall to the brick, is just a generic part, it's called a "figure-8 appliance cord" or something similar, as seen here-...

    Surface Pro dead? Weird Battery issue

    Hate to say it, but sounds like your battery may be bad.

    Get or not to get warranty!

    That's just not realistic. Bare minimum, you're paying $900 for a Surface Pro 4. If you break it, that's it game over. You want a new one, cough up another $900. OR you could pay $1050 for the thing (adding on Microsoft Complete) and if you break it, $49 gets you into a new one. So I...

    Get or not to get warranty!

    The Surface is made to be handled and taken out into the world. That itself is grounds for disaster. But even more than that is the many, many posts on this forum about a screen cracking "out of nowhere" (several around the area of the camera hole) or some other weird thing that you will be...

    totally ripped off

    This is my method as well, try to get something in the image with a time and date stamp as well. Or have the stamp on the image itself. A couple times I have even printed off copies of the photos and included them WITH the returned device, just to try and head off any broken-screen shenanigans!
