That would be nice, wasn't aware they announced it. The SP3 has it also for Windows 8, but not for the SP2.

Again... would've been better if Again, would've been better if Microsoft could've automated the process, at least for the average user. Being a Microsoft hardware product, there should've been specific Surface Pro upgrade installs that handled everything.

Right... but where on the drive, the root level? anywhere at all? Or is there a particular folder where the install process expects to see them?

I had all sorts of issues with Sleep-mode on my SP2 when it was Windows 8 and 8.1 -- would always wake up when unattended -- tried tweaking what I could, nothing worked. Finally I just set the power button to Hibernate and turned off the cover from doing anything. The SSD is so fast that...

I right-clicked on the INF files as he explained after a clean install, and it does work but it's not very intuitive. Some say 'process complete' others 'reboot required to complete' -- and some install without any message. The graphics driver takes longer than any of the others, seems like it...

I have a SP2 with Windows 10 and have it fully encrypted with BitLocker and I also have a MacBook Pro encrypted with FileVault. OneDrive on both and no issues accessing files on either. There's a noticeable slowdown in general use with my SP2 after encrypting it. It was never encrypted when...

Could be -- I noticed the file dates on everything are older, they're not new drivers -- they must've just modified them to be be recognizable by Windows 10.

There's no instructions at the site, or in the zip-file. I just went through all the directories, right clicked the .INF files, and chose 'Install' -- some prompt for a reboot, some say successful... rebooted... everything seems fine, no idea if it all 'took'...

Just happened to check the download site, the Windows 10 drivers are out for the SP2 -- released today. I did a clean install, so they didn't show up in Windows Update, I assume if you did an in-place upgrade, they might come through Windows Update? After extracting all the files, I don't see...

Must've been hard to get much done with just an iPad -- the RT would've been better even. No wonder you switched. At least you a 'real' device now ;-)

The statement would make sense if you ditched your MacBook for a Surface Pro 3, or your iPad for a Surface RT -- different device category. Don't know anyone who uses an iPad as their primary computing device.

...? You jumped ship from a scaled down, mobile OS to a full blown desktop OS -- doesn't make sense. There plenty of info about that error on Google: Error 80240020

There's a SP2 Windows 10 sub-forum you might want read through.

A driver pack will be great, but it's good to know you can update now if you want too -- even do a clean install afterwards. IMHO, my SP2 is more usable with W10 than it was with 8.1.

Not sure why you're using Macrium Reflect, or why you'd create your install USB after you've wiped your drive instead of before. I created a bootable USB drive for W10 installation using the Microsoft provided ISO file (after doing an in place update). During the initial part of the install I...

Have you tried researching with Google?

The best way to secure your data when using an SSD drive is to use one that supports Trim and encrypt it. The drive in your SP3 supports Trim, and both W8 and W10 default to using Trim. Truly sanitizing a SSD drive is next to impossible, and testing has shown the programs claiming to do it...

When I upgraded my Windows 8.1 install, the previous photoviewer was an option when I right clicked and selected 'Open With', but after I did a clean install it wasn't, and doesn't show if I select 'choose another program', is that photo viewer still there? I actually like the new one now that...

I experienced the the wireless connection dropping issue a couple betas ago, but it has since worked flawlessly and continues to do so after a clean install on my SP2...

I don't think Microsoft has issued SP2 specific graphics drivers yet. I noticed that post-Windows 1o I now have the generic Intel(R) HD Graphics Family adapter driver, with Windows 8.x it was a different driver, usually not as current as the generic one. They've issued a collection of W10...
