Thank you for the suggestions! I was hoping Microsoft would have a design similar to the ones offered on Amazon whereby the hub attaches directly onto the side of the Go laptop, versus having a cable design and hub placed on the table. I currently have my Go laptop elevated above the table...

I have the 1st generation Microsoft Surface Go that I got a couple years ago at Best Buy, it's the upgraded 128GB/8GB model. I want to get a USB-C hub so I can attach accessories, such as USB 3.0 devices, HDMI, memory card reader, etc. I see that on Amazon there are a number of 3rd party...

I bought my first generation 8GB/128SSD Windows Go with the Alcantera keyboard some time last year at Best Buy. I'm still liking the Go, although it's not my main laptop for doing "serious" work. I find the Go a bit laggy compared to my full size Asus or Dell laptops for work related apps, but...

Here's an update. I was able to install MS Office 2010 onto my Thinkpad okay. Went to Microsoft's download page, and the link was well hidden to download older versions cuz they really want me to upgrade to current version. I went ahead and uninstalled Microsoft Office 2003, plus a trial version...

Thanks for the comment! Okay, I will try to install the MS Office 2010 app onto my Thinkpad. Hopefully it will install okay without a glitch. I recently tried to open an Excel file I created long ago but my Thinkpad with MS Office 2003 installed refused to open it and kept giving me error...

My sister gave me a never opened Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 package that she never used. I already installed the newest Office 2019 app onto my Surface Go. I didn't want to pay another couple hundred for another license to install the same thing on my other laptop, a Lenovo...

Here's a screenshot picture of all updates installed on my Surface Go including today's 1903 update. My Lenovo Thinkpad got the same update. Took about an hour with many, many restarts to finally finish.

I just installed a new 1903 update today 8/30/2019 for both of my Windows laptops. The OS build now shows "18362.329"

The new 1903 update seems more cosmetic to me than anything else. I notice a new dark theme which I like. The Windows login screen now fades the picture in the background. If there is any major new functionality change, I don't notice it.

Actually, I also installed the same Windows 1903 update on my Lenovo Thinkpad laptop with no issues as well. Also took awhile to complete, over half an hour or longer.

Wow, I didn't know this was even an issue. I installed Windows 10 Home version 1903 update on the first attempt on 8/5/2019 without any problems. My OS build says 18362.295. I didn't do anything special. Simply went to Settings and Windows Update. I recall it took awhile to complete, maybe over...

When I bought my Surface Go, I immediately switched to Windows 10 Home version within the first hour. Never looked back. There was no problem doing so whatsoever. As for battery life, I have no reference point whether my battery life is better or worse since I never had any comparison. My Go...

Yes, thank you! I like having Outlook 2019 on my Surface Go! Don't have to rely on Chrome/Gmail web access now. Now I'm debating on installing the same M.S. Office 2019 Business version onto my Lenovo Thinkpad. I just don't feel like spending hundreds more for a new purchase license, haha...

Well, here's another update. After much contemplation, I ended up purchasing the M.S. Office 2019 Home & Business app through a local Microsoft store. They priced matched Walmart's online price at $209 instead of paying the normal $250. Installing the app went smoothly, did not have to...

Thank you for the link! That Naztech battery looks interesting! Equally interesting is that I cannot find any written reviews on this products doing a Google search, even Amazon doesn't seem to carry this. Usually Amazon carries everything, haha! How long have you had the Naztech battery? Yes...
