Found this super small print that starts with OOOs or Zeros then has some 5s or S'es in it. I tried various combinations on the MS Site and the damn thing will not verify/ allow me to download. What the hell do I do to figure out the Serial No? Is there a pattern to this AlphaNumberic code...

Ha ha! nice use of that word.. havent seen it in a while :) I think we ought to do a mini survey of peoples hardware (from launch time) and update experiences and through the last 3/4 months.

Such is life.. things dont always comply how we want them to.. :P .. Devices and standards and realities shift often.

Thank you :) I have a 1 TB drive that works as well.. Was hoping and fishing out for people who might have the 2TB before I did.

Unfortunately, the white flashes have started. Not a usage issue, but given the history of such things (monitors, other GPUs on thinkpads etc), I am a bit concerned longer term, even though its not a bother short term. PS: Can we all share and post the "Tech Info" of people who are getting the...

Ok. I might dare to go for the updates.. here's what I see: There is a difference in what System Update shows versus what's there on the Microsoft Surface Pro download pages. It points out completely different files and updates; which is fine.. But, I'd like to be able to connect some dots...

Seriously? Nice. What channel are you using to access Win 10? MSDN/ Insider? Are you using an SP3? or SP1/2? Is there a faster shortcut key to do that? I am new on Win8 and hate having to go to the Charms bar to do so. ??

Please specify: OS (W8.1/W10TP), Hardware, Manufacture Date/Batch, Firmware? (Mini Survey) (Faulty GPUs/ firmware were found in Thinkpads & other machines that I've bought and used in the past.. when people posted in the forum it was found a upto a certain batch had faults) White flashes: 2...

Ha ha! :) You're not going out of business anytime :P I get what you are saying but some of the bad experiences now make me wary and more cautious as I have OTHER WORK to do on the machine and cant have updates messing up my daily life. I appreciate the insights. So you are saying most updates...

Grumpy I see a System Firmware update for 6/23 - Have you tried that yet? I am hoping / guessing that would fix things from your "May" Update. - Can you please point out/ specify which "specific" update is the one that caused your issues? I'd like to make a note of that. Also, I see so much...

Grumpy & Leeshor - With utmost regards to you both.. I have experienced both. I have experienced chaos and issues due to updates and then I have seen things getting fixed as well. Which is why.. I am careful.. and gradual in doing updates. I like to see how an update is affecting the systems...

What is causing this for you? With all due respect (maybe yes.. maybe not), I originally posted to get insights on "General Updates" for SP3 and which ones are good/ bad etc. as experienced by people. Here, I am participating in the issues being face by spanchpie and others "specifically" on...

You havent faced any negative issues with SP3 updates? Especially the latest release? I will post back on what my Windows System Update shows as options for downloading before I install it. Please do advise. Thanks.

Is this run off a hidden Partition on SP3 or just a "current snapshot" of SP3? I am guessing I should make this.. question is.. do I do this NOW (only Chrome installed) or after Windows/ System Update with some fixes/ updates/ patches?

Any thoughts on which versions of updates/ patches I should go for? http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/what-updates-firmware-updates-etc-youve-installed-recommend-what-issues-have-they-fixed-not.15662/#post-127944

Leeshor - Sometimes MS updates & patches have messed up my systems more than they have fixed. So before I go down to Windows Update and install everything blindly, I like to ask which Updates/ Patches are "working better" or some that make things worse or cause BSODs or additional issues. I...

What updates/ Firmware updates etc you've installed/ recommend & what issues have they fixed/ not? I just got an SP3 thats dated 2014 (Costco Stock) I googled around and found a bunch of stuff about WiFi/ Bluetooth etc. I haven't migrated onto it yet before I patch some of the known/ existing...
