Sorry, I didn't see you'd replied. I have painted it matt black and magnesium takes paint really well, but the vapour-mag layer is thicker than paint and leaves nasty ridges. You'd get a much nicer finish if you could strip it to the bare metal. I was hoping someone had faced the problem...

Hi. I'm a long time owner of an original Surface RT and recently lost a patch of the outer coating on the back about the size of my thumb. It is well out of warranty and still works beautifully, so what I'd like to ask if anyone out there has found a way of removing the outer coating...

Open the Microsoft Health app on your phone, tap the hamburger button and go down to Manage Tiles section.

Both Dell and HP seem to have got their act together recently, but see if Microsoft sell Signature Edition PCs in India. Signature PCs are sold by Microsoft themselves and come without unnecessary software added, just Windows 10 and all the drivers needed by the hardware, t's a much better...

I use MP3 Tag to edit the details of an album before I upload it to Onedrive. It's very easy to check album titles, artists etc, are all the same and check or change album art with this program.

The last I heard Nokia were 'in no hurry' to enter the mobile phone business. The problem being that going up against Apple and Samsung seems to be a no win scenario; only Chinese makers like Huawei seem able to compete. Nokia went with Windows Mobile because they knew they couldn't...

I'm not laughing and that's because I have a healthy and robust sense of humour. Somewhere between the Scilla of Microsoft fanboyism and the Charibdis of irrational Microsoft hate, lies the rational path. The simple truth is that if you want your calendar synchronised between your phone and...

I've had my 950XL about a week after a 930. Here are my problems: 1. I haven't found a belt holster yet so miss the weight of the 930 against my hip. 2. In the first couple of days, numerous restarts were required. The device wasn't crashing, it's just how many updates were downloaded and...

No. Microsoft, Apple and Google are all quite distinct entities and don't assume I think MS are some sort of paragon of virtue against the evil Google There are people at Google who are genuinely trying to the internet a safer and more efficient place. No black hats/white hats please, I'm too...

Hi and thank you for trying to make us feel better. Please don't take anything I say as an attack on yourself or other Android users. The reason I've stayed with Windows Phone/Mobile for the last 5 years is I've had an excellent experience using it. I am not afraid of new technology, indeed...

Thank you, Milo. This was putting a serious crimp in my new love affair. :)
