    Surface Pro 2 - Display Issues

    I've tracked the problem down to the last display drivers issued by MS. Manually installing the latest Haswell Drivers from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24870/Intel-Iris-and-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64-bit solves the issue. You have to do this via Device Manager and...

    Msoft refurbished SP2?

    In the UK they've come up recently on ibood and scan.co.uk. The 8gb and 256gb ssd recently came up on both sites for a shade over £500. I'm waiting on my delivery from ibood. I tried the sp3 but it was too much for the above spec. So decided to upgrade my sp1 and it'll do me for at least two years.

    Surface Pro as a desktop replacmenet

    From what I can tell on the USA get the full quota of Surface accessories. I've never found the power cover with a UK keyboard layout. I of course blame the USA for having a daft keyboard layout with no £ key.

    I used Rufus and this guide none of them worked. I've had my Zalman drive for three years and its the best tech item I've brought in Twenty years of working in the IT industry. I was just amazed it worked so well.

    Surface Pro 8.1 Update 1, Hard Freeze & Now Won't Boot

    It was the way I ended my pain. I even verified that I had a EFI boot compatible drive by using the latest Ubuntu DVD and making that into a UEFI usb stick which worked but for obvious reasons I didn't want to put that in my SP. I used my older version of this...

    Surface Pro 8.1 Update 1, Hard Freeze & Now Won't Boot

    I had a similar issue last week. Every USB stick I created from a vanilla 8.1 ISO wouldn't work. But I know the usb stick was EFI compatible. In the end I used my Zalman VM-200 to emulate a DVD drive. If you have access to USB dvd drive boot with the volume down on after disabling secure boot.
