Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

A reminder - battery life may be reduced after a Build until all cloud and Store services are synced and satisfied.

I am getting barely over 3 hrs. But then again I was getting about 4 hrs 15 min before this build and never got more than 4 hrs 30 min even when the SP3 was brand new.

I often run the brightness down less than 50% depending on where I am working, minimize my use of Chrome, keep open apps to a minimum if possible. That would be me running Word, Excel, Lync, Outlook, and some web browsing.

I took the plunge to 125

Back on 10074, with 10122 and 10125 my wlan is unusable, nearly no upload... Download is good as always, but upload (sending email) is horrible... lan is working in both directions...

125 was NOT rosy experience for myself. I restored my 122 image.

Upgrade in place:

explorer crashing desktop every 5-10 minutes.
my wlan had sporadic speed issues.
All modern/metro apps that decided to work, started 1/4 size.
mail decided to no longer work. Fortunately I prefer outlook.
Pen occasionally decided to stop working at random times.

The worst was item 1 tho. The rest I could have possibly lived with, but having desktop crash wasn't a good experience. After about 6 hours, I rolled back which wasn't pretty either this time so I restored my backup.

I can't get my displayport to work on 10125...

Update - windows updated right after I posted, and now it works - there was a driver update.
Update again - not only does it work, but so does different dpi settings for each monitor. This build is getting exciting...

On 125 again, I'm like an addict. still buggy but found a fix for the start menu bug when it happens. Go into settings/personalize/start/ turn on use full screen when in desktop. button will work again then you can turn it back off.

System Firmware Update - ‎5/‎14/‎2015 finally installed today, after a Language Pack.
Apparently applies to the network adapter.
Did a full restart (from cold) afterwards, and saw a AMD (American Megatrends) BIOS screen for a split-second after powering back up. Never saw that before on any Surface device.

Network adapter seems to scan available WiFi networks faster than before.
Working great.

I have a bunch of updates including this: Update for Windows 10 Insider Preview May Update for x64-based Systems (KB3066096)

 

[wynand32]

Okay, fine. Once it's charged back up, my SP3 will be getting 10125. Yeesh, twist my arm, will you?!?

When another one of us decides to take a risk and try a new Windows 10 Preview Build, we all end up getting smarter.
@wynand32, Let us know how it goes - after all the cloud and Store activity is satisfied.

Imagine how poor or how late the Windows 10 release (now scheduled for July 29) would be, if the Insider Preview program was not available.

Or we all demonstrate our willingness to participate in this shared delusion. [emoji3]

I'll definitely report back on how it's going.
