    Advice for external monitor (match resolution or match ppi)?

    Aren't most flat screen led tv's 1366x768? I know you can set the surface screen to that. Wouldn't that make the desktop full screen then?

    touch issues aftter update 1

    So, how many people remember that to close apps, you pull them down to the bottom of the screen, and HOLD them there 'till they flip around, then slide them down? Funny that all the help from Microsoft doesn't mention it anymore. I guess they want everything running all the time !!!

    System Partitions

    I replaced a mechanical hard drive with a ssd in my win 7 netbook a couple years ago. the ssd manufacturer recommended leaving a small amount of the drive unallocated to allow for internal repair and activity. Maybe the 128 mb space on the surface ssd is for that purpose. It doesn't show up in...

    Has anyone else not gotten 8.1 update 1 yet?

    Got update 1 late tuesday night, no problems installing. Only thing aggravating to me was the fact that both the 8.1 upgrade, and the 8.1 update 1 both reset my power settings back to default. I had my SP1 set to shutdown, never sleep or hibernate. 8.1 upgrade killed my battery overnight, went...

    I lost My Windows 8 OEM product Key. How can I recover ?

    Yes, that will recover your 'registry product key' but not show you the one in the firmware. for that you need RWeverything. You can install a different version of Windows by putting a PID.TXT file in the root of your install DVD or Flashdrive containing your new product key, that will skip...

    Simplest way is to go to folder options, and turn on select checkboxes. It's funky using the pen or your finger....

    DVD+/-RW External Drive for Surface Pro or Surface Pro 2

    Supposedly, usb 3.0 will deliver 900ma during data transfer use, but 1500ma for charging purposes ONLY. I think to be safe a powered hub is necessary, for a second connection. Besides, with only the single usb 3.0 on the surface, a hub is almost a necessity..........

    Problems saving pictures in Internet Explorer

    Sorry, but why are you wasting your time with IE at all? First thing I installed on my surface pro was Mozilla Firefox. Haven't looked back to IE since I switched to Netscape on my Windows 95c destop. (Still will run if I put a cmos battery on the motherboard!) Ha!

    I have 4 pc's at home I use, one old xp desktop, a vista laptop, a win7 netbook, and now my surface pro 128 (still using win 8), as well as my non-smart but internet and multimedia capable cell phone, and an android tablet. The only thing I keep syncronized is my contacts. Everything else...

    Merge recovery partition back to C: drive?

    Did the Surface create that E: drive by itself? Or did you create it? I copied the recovery on my surface pro 128 to usb, but didn't delete the drive. I figured if I deleted the recovery drive, it would just remove the partition. then you could just extend the C: drive into the free space. I...
