Thanks for sharing, just found this. I ended up purchasing a used official MS 512 hard drive on ebay. Someone had upgraded their surface laptop to a TB. That drive totally works...

My Surface Pro 03 & 05 were just 512GB so I humbled myself and set my sights a little lower. I just decided to shop 512G new or used from American sellers. I bought a 512GB M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe SSD XA1-31512 for $65 bucks. It wont be here until the 4th thru 9th. I also got another little nvme...

Thanks, yes in deed. Used a couple of utilities and also just formatted in windows. Disk clone would never work with Acronis. Might have worked from different computer if I had two nvme enclosers but only had one.

Greetings all. After reading the excellent Daniel Rubino article I was inspired to get the 256 GB model and upgrade. 2020 hind sight, I wish I would have ordered the 512 or 1TB model and just spent the money. I bought the 1TB WD drive and had no luck. I have a lot of experience imaging...

Since moving to android, i just have Cortana to sink messages with my PC. I use Google for my assistant on the phone. I think MS will keep the bits to use anywhere they can. That is what I would do. I don't think they have any misconceptions about it being over as far as a consumer thing.

This may or may not help but I have docked 950 xl with touch screen and also Samsung S8+. usually you need two connections. One for HDMI output ans one usb as input device for phone. Just like PC. i have used continuum dock for for 950 xl and S8. I have used Dex dock for both as well. I used...

Thanks for the thoughtful comments. I heard the other day there was some update to Groove on insider Windows. That much itself is surprising. It gives me some hope they are not totally done with it. If they had any honor at all they would get it up to the functionality it had on Windows phone. I...

I don't care about subscriptions. I just want it to be a first class Music App. 1. Does not auto rotate. Google Play Music Does. 2. Cant play local music on internal or SD memory. Google Play Music Does. 3. Cant direct downloads to typical location. 4, Have to go to now playing to shuffle or...

Cortana Who? Windows Phone what? Grove What? Is OneDrive next?

Wife had 950 and i had 950XL. Got her Iphone 8+ and Samsung 8+ for myself. I had been into smartphones since 2002. I also am a Tech person by trade and enthusiast of Mobil tech. My wife is just practical and not crazy like me. We both are having a good experience. There will be some bumps...

Onedrive WM10 supports SD card. Can sync all folders to the local folders on SD Card. Not on Android. Groove Music does not support local files let alone SD card on Android. For Outlook to be default you have to use a disabler app to disable some samsung and or some google services. You have...

I just wish MS Groove would let us non subscribers export our play lists to m3u or any common playlist file. My wife and I have our lifetime music collections on onedrive. We are 60 plus and have accumulated large collections. I have extensive playlists. It would just be fair to be able to...

I have been on windows phone since 2002 and last round I left Verizon for AT&T so my wife and I could have 950 an 950 XL. Except for AT&T spoty coverage in some areas here It has been OK. I gave up and and got my wife an iphone 8 plus and my self a samsung 8 plus. I use continuum, now DEX and...

Just moved from windows to android. It sees all 10,000 plus on OneDrive but does not have the ability to download them to SD Card. Hope to see a fix in the future. Considering that OneDrive is a Red Headed step child now, I am not so sure that Microsoft cares. Having files local is important to...

Kaktus1389, thanks. I'm looking into ways to convert playlists. So far only if you have subscriptions to music and i do not. I am also investigated formatting SD card as internal memory but there is a penalty in performance. I will keep monitoring the forum and studying. Really appreciate this...
