    Changing firmware?

    Remix OS (Android) on Surface 3

Unless there is a way to change settings on the surface 3 to boot the USB using BIOS mode, you're out of luck until Remix...

    Is it possible to play Asphalt 8 Airborne (versus mode) on PC and Windows phone?

    yes you can, as long its on the same ecosystem (windows+windowsphone) (windows+windows) (iOS+iOS ipad/iphone) (android+android) you will not be able to play if its between an iPhone and windows

    Annoying issue in Windows 10 after Nov upgrade

    what if you click on locations in the properties box and move the location out of onedrive? that should separate your pictures from being put onto onedrive

    Upgrading Small Tablets to Windows 10

    upgraded my hp pavilion x2 10 2in1 (32GB) with 8.1+Bing to windows 10. It will remove the wimboot partition and you basically get that space back (+/- 2-3GB). after the upgrade, you will get windows 10 home.

    VoLTE not supported on all phones?

    Well at the moment if I'm not mistaken, no mobile network in the UK has deployed VoLTE so the option is not available for you to select. It would probably be enabled in a future update when VoLTE is enabled on the networks. I've got a Lumia 920 on EE as well but no option for that.

    UK Cortana not chatty

    Cortana (UK) on my phone is probably deaf. All voice recognition is not working but text entry works fine. Then again, its a beta so hopefully things get straightened up before dropping the beta tag :)

The update process was smooth but quite a long wait especially during the spinning gears process. Fingers crossed you...
