    Is S6 worth upgrade

    I have my SP6 now for only a month and been very happy with it. An USB-C tongle can be obtained for less than $20 and should not be a deterrent for buying a SP6. The USB-A is still quite useful and I would not like to miss it.

    How to use Clipboard

    There are numerous u-tube videos that deal with this subject. Unfortunately my hearing is not as good as it was when I was in my 20th. The subject matter is important enough for most users, that one would think a clear instruction on how to use the clipboard could be provided by simple text...

    Head Phone Connection Problem

    This is a follow up to my previous post. I brought the computer back to the store, where a technician installed an updated driver. This cured the problem. It would never have occured to me to do this. Good lesson to learn.

    Head Phone Connection Problem

    Thanks for the link. It might come in handy to solve general sound problems. My limited experience with modern type computers leads me to believe that my problem is more related to a mechanical switch failure, than a software related one . Plugging in a headphone should physically disconnect the...

    Head Phone Connection Problem

    Home->Sound->Manage sound system->Output Devices This shows "Headphones" when phones are plugged in and it shows "Speaker" when phones are not plugged in. In both cases sound is provided by the speakers. I would have expected to hear sound in my headphone but not from the speakers. There is no...

    Browser Issue

    I play chess on the internet on chess.com Microsoft Edge appeared to be the preferred browser in my initial setup of surface pro 6. I used it to play my chess games flawlessly by using the pen to move the pieces. However, the program included a feature to help with playing strategy. Here I run...

    Surface Pro 6 Is A Little Misleading

    The will to learn should not be diminished with age. Nothing helps more to overcome memory problems than to make every effort to learn new things. I am 92 years old and have just purchased a surface pro 6 recently. It is a complete new experience for me to get used to the complexity. There is...

    Recommend Screenshot/ Screencapture

    I tried to reply to your PM but got somehow lost in in the process. I think my reply was never sent. Thanks for your help. As time goes on I will eventually get the hang on how to use this forum without being terminated in the process of writing. My screen capture question produced enough...

    I would do more that than just click my heels, I would even salut, if it would help! But unfortunately, TechSmith has not yet made a version for Surface.

    Recommend Screenshot/ Screencapture

    The search with Cortana leads directly to the MS store for this app, with the note indicating "I own this app". The install button is grayed out, indicating that I cannot install it. Nowhere seems to be place where this app is installed on my surface pro 6. I used to have a Surface 2, maybe it...

    Recommend Screenshot/ Screencapture

    The pen icon is interesting to explore for what it is used , but does not lead to a recommended screen capture app recommendation. Nevertheless, I thank you for showing me its usage. I miss very badly Techsmith's Snagit program, that is available on most computers except on MS surface type...

    Recommend Screenshot/ Screencapture

    I must be missing something! I went to the motions to get Snip & Skech and now the MS Store shows that I own this app, but I cannot find a way how to access it. It does not show in the installed App list Screen and it does not show on the Start Screen.

    Remove erroneous App tile from Start screen

    My Start screen shows the AP tile (Associated Press) but the detailed view of all installed apps has no entry for this app. How can I get rid of this erroneous tile?
