Processor and OneDrive works flawless

Sounds like a possible answer to those that want to play with 10 yet keep 8.1 as the main without partitioning the SP3 SSD.

Very very nice !

The question is the UEFI compatibility of their boot loader.

The Corsair I believe is on the list for "Windows to Go" compatibility which is a specific solution with the Enterprise edition of Win8 that allows you to plug in a Win8 USB drive to any device and run assuming you can boot to the USB.

However the right bootloader and an SSD stick sounds appealing.

I am surprised no one else seems to have had any serious problems with the most recent technical preview build 9860. Immediately after it was installed it wouldn't lock onto a wifi network and continually bounced back from one available network to another...

Knuck,
At first,Build 9860 did seem to have WiFi trouble - until I deleted previous profiles (Apple users know this as "forget this network"). It seems that although WiFi connections which used in the previous build were still working, something had changed with the software or adapter driver. Though you have already reverted to the previous build, the solution may be to delete your connection profiles (here's how to do it with a command line, for convenience).

Nothing to add sir

I don't know if this has been discussed but, I would like to ask something I would love to have in W10.

If I am in the desktop, using the cover trackpad or with the bt mouse, and I click on the start button ON THE SCREEN, I would like to see start MENU and open desktop apps.

If I push the PHYSICAL BUTTON on the bezel (this means that I am using it as a tablet), I would love to see start SCREEN and open MUI apps directly.

Is this happening?

Good idea, golosin2. I just sent that in.
If Microsoft does not go this way, then there is always Stardock's Start8 (new Beta version is adding more functionality, too). Start8 currently does this, but if you use it, you lose the Windows 10 Start Menu, which has the new tile functionality.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I just ordered a 256 gig USB SSD but it won't have the features that this has for a portable OS. I'm definitely going to get one. I'm just not sure how t make the preview iso boot from this drive. I'll figure it out though.

Done. I ordered the 240 gig. If for some reason I can't get 10 to boot from it, it will still be a hell of a fast USB SSD.

Let us know if it works!

I wonder if the USB3 port on the SP3 supplies enough power to effectively run that device.
