Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

[hannytyo]

You do not need to go back. If you continue using genuine (not leaked) Windows 10 Technical Preview, then you are on the proper path to the final version.

Right, but the release you are using now is "official" and also your SP3 has your original W8.1 key locked into the BIOS. When W10 comes out, you should be able to go straight in with an official license as it seems to stand now. But we all know it is MS and something could change. You could need to wipe and install clean, in which case there is a tool that can access your W8.1 key from the BIOS if needed.

sharp... GT... thanks a lot for the explanation.

All of these use the built-in color suggestions by Windows. I'm amazed that the selections available work with so many images.

For anyone having trouble with external monitors in the dock...

When I would start my SP3, it would flicker for a few minutes, like it was trying to find the monitor. I found that undocking it allowed it to boot, then I'd login, then redock and the external monitor would be picked up after a few flickers. It was a pain.

I've found recently that I could uninstall the display adapter driver, reboot, and reinstall it and now it boots quite nicely. Still doesn't play well with waking up, but hey, at least some progress was made.

I concur. The whole system seems far more stable than it was previously. Plus my boot time improved and the external monitor issue I posted about earlier today seems to be a thing of the past. So far (still a bit apprehensive about it).

The color suggestion from Windows is provided on the same dialog that allows you to change desktops. Click a desired color if you want something besides the automatic.
