My wife's computer was one that didn't handle the Anniversary update too well, so I had rolled it back. Since then it's never been updated. Can I go right to the Creators Update, or do I have to do the Anniversary Update first?

I had a friend (yea, really...) give me his Surface Pro last week, said he tried installing Windows 10 and it just went crazy. So he tried going back to Windows 8 but it doesn't work. He also deleted all of the partitions on the drive, but he didn't mind loosing his data and recovery anyway...

So my wife and I bit the bullet and got my 8-year-old son an Xbox One (without Kinect) for Christmas. So I had a few questions: (disclaimer: I am a computer tech and I know my way around computers and home theater...) 1. What is the benefit of passing my Verizon DVR box through the Xbox? Will...

So here's what I've been dealing with... (SP3, i7, 256GB) Bought my SP3 in February, running Windows 8.1 of course, up until July 29th. I did the Windows 10 upgrade, but forced the upgrade instead of waiting for that stupid GWX program to tell me I'm ready. So it ran well for the day. Later...

So I'm having some issues with Windows 10 on my SP3 (surprised, right?), and I want to go back to 8.1 so I can re-do the Windows 10 install. I downloaded the SP3 recovery image direct from Microsoft, and put it on a USB as directed. But when I boot using the Volume Down-Power Button boot, and go...

Just did an update in Windows 1`0, saw there was a video driver update. Haven't seen any ill effects yet....

Anyone have a "recommended USB 3.0 hub for the SP3? It seems I can't find one that works, especially with Windows 10. I've tried a few (manufacturer names escape me at the moment), but they all seem to not connect properly. The latest one is a unit called j5Create, which I got from Best Buy...

I have a Surface Pro 3 that I first did the Windows 10 upgrade on the 29th, then did a clean install. Every time I boot my Surface I get a notification that I need to sign in with my most recent password. When I go to the accounts settings page, I am told I need to verify my identity. I put in...

So I upgraded my SP3 to Windows 10 last week, did the upgrade from the GWX thing... then I did the clean install using the USB key, and all was great... Fast-forward to last night... I booted my SP3, and I get a message that I need to activate Windows 10. Huh? When I did the clean install, I...

So I am still in comparison mode between the Apple Watch and Band. I just figured I give you all an observation about distance tracking while running... I got the Watch on release day (5/24) and have been wearing both the Watch and Band for my runs. I carry my iPhone with me when I run anyway...

Note: This is my FIRST EVER review like this for ANYTHING, so PLEASE go easy on me... For reference, I have the 42mm Space Gray Watch with Black PLASTIC (flouroelastomer...) band Ok... so having the Band since January, and having the Watch since Friday, here are things I've experienced so far...

So my Type Cover for my SP3 is only about 2-3 weeks old, and I WAS having an issue with it (it seemed to resolve itself as I was typing this, but figured I continue...) The Type Cove was working great last night, and I turned on my SP3 today, and got no response from the keyboard at all, and...

HooToo UE01 Ethernet/USB issues Does anyone have any experience with the HooToo UE01 Ethernet/USB dongle? I picked one up last week as an alternative to Microsoft's version of that device because the HooToo has 3 USB 3.0 ports as well as Gigabit Ethernet. Well, I can't get the darn thing to...

So I have an SP3 i7/256GB that is about 2 weeks old, and about 10 minutes ago I noticed that the time changed. It was supposed to be11:05pm on Sunday, March 22, but the time showed 12:58am on Saturday, March 21. As I'm typing this, I am on battery power, and it shows 71% remaining, so I am sure...

So I had a SP3 i5/128, but had the chance to swap out to a i7/256 version, and I'm just using it for the first time, and I notice the fans are running a lot. I have it sitting on my desk with the Metro tile screen loaded, and it's not doing anything but that, and the fans seem to run a LOT. The...

So I'm loving my SP3, so much that I might return it to get a better one... but that's a story for another day... Anyway, I can see this being an awesome way for me to draw and color with my 7-year old son, he loves to color and draw. I can see how OneNote can be sort-of a drawing program/app...

So the one thing I noticed about the SP3, since I just got mine 2 days ago, is that it doesn't have a Kensington-type lock slot on it. I'm a little upset by this, but not a deal-breaker to return it. I am a sports photographer, and will be taking this on-site for photo editing, so I'll be very...

Thinking of taking the plunge and getting a Surface Pro 3, the i5/128GB model. I am a sports photographer, and one of the main usage scenarios for me would be taking the Surface on-site, uploading jpegs of the game I'm shooting, and doing VERY quick editing of the pics in Lightroom 5. I would...

My Band is updated tot he latest firmware released last week. and I am having charging issues... I can't seem to have the Band tell me it is 100% charged. I've tried having it plugged in for about 2 hours twice in the past few days, and the Microsoft Sync program (Windows) never got past 80%...
