Perhaps I am missing something but if understand your situation correctly you sent a defective unit back to MSFT for replacement through fedex. Microsoft claims it was damaged upon receipt and they eventually sent it back to you in the condition shown in the pictures. I expect that you did not...

I am surprised no one else seems to have had any serious problems with the most recent technical preview build 9860. Immediately after it was installed it wouldn't lock onto a wifi network and continually bounced back from one available network to another. Once it finally locked on, the CPU...

Looks like the most recent patch fixed my Wifi issue. No longer bouncing from one available network to another and then listing "internet access" as the selected network in Charms. Now lists the name of the network as it did before.

Initially new build took a long time to lock onto wifi as it continually cycled back and forth through available networks. It appears that it was searching for fastest network. Eventually it did connect. Hopefully it will remain stable and not take forever to lock on. Now under charms/available...

What's he supposed to say when his company just launched a new product that "we are going to discontinue it so don't buy it." Here's one analyst's take: CEO Satya Nadella makes it clear that he sees a "software-powered world," a "mobile and cloud-first world," and that doesn't sound like a...

Agreed

There has been a long history of Microsoft's major shareholders pushing to have Microsoft focus predominantly on the enterprise marketplace and dump all hardware endeavours. It is not surprising to hear these type of rumours surface (no pun intended) again. Have you listened to the newest CEO...

My pen is recognized in W10 but still can't open OneNote or capture screen with top button.

Script works well for me. A bit of a hassle that you have to reload it every time after you closeit. Most gestures worked for me on the metro version. The only issues I had with metro was with multiple tabs where I would open the menu bar and select new tab. The menu bar would stick and not...

I could mount and install but that would be an upgrade. I was hoping to do a clean install. It is on a UEFI system. I tried disabling Secure Boot and received a Bitlocker key message. When I entered the key it would restart and ask for the key again.

Tried that. Doesn't help. I'm able to boot to my Windows 8.1 recovery drive but for some reason it won't boot to the Windows 10 drive even though two other non-surface computers did. Is there a special way you have to create a bootable USB drive with the tech preview files for the SP3?

After installing Windows 10 on another computer and really liking it, I decided to install it on my SP3. I have tried to boot using settings-recovery-restart now- USB device but it just reboots the SP3 bypassing the USB drive. I have successfully used this USB drive on 2 other computers using f8...

Like the multiple desktop feature. Used it all the time when I was a Mac guy.

Have a Lumia 1520, great phone if you can handle big. Not sure how well Apple and Android sync with the SP3 but the Nokia syncs calendar, OneNote etc. seamlessly.

How many times do people post how unstable Windows 8.1 and how Apple is so stable and issue free. Well for those of you who subscribe to that view read this: Not to mention the iPhone 6+ bends.

Sorry I should have warned you about that. I'll edit my instructions above. Every time you update the Intel driver, Windows Update will prompt you to reinstall the old driver. You don't want to do that. Go to device manager and see if you have the current Intel driver version 10.18.10.3907. You...

You can actually run the exe file after you unzip it but you have to delete the SP3 drivers first. The benefit of doing it this way is that you get the Intel HD Display Graphics Control Panel program which I find to be very useful. To do this: 1. Download the most recent zip file of the 64 bit...

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Have a SanDisk 64gb Extreme Plus without issues. I consistently get read/write speeds averaging at 52 Mb/s.

I haven't had any issues with the Intel drivers. Having the ability to use the Intel Graphics Display Control Panel is necessary imo to achieve proper brightness and contrast settings although it is a little confusing to install.

Just traded my Note 3 for a Nokia 1520. Love the phone, disappointed with integration. For example Outlook doesn't sync unless you go through OneDrive. Hopefully Windows 9 will integrate a lot better. Get the phone, you won't regret it. The 8.1 UI and Cortana work really well. The home screen...
