    Do you regret getting a 950?

    I got mine release day coming from L920 (I still have this as a backup). Then was not a good time to get the L950. Now the CU update just got pushed to my phone, and it is fair to say that it is better than ever (aside from a few apps that CU broke). The minor niggling bugs that were is AU are...

    Surface 3 Intel HD graphics update

    I did ALL the updates just this morning. Cumulative update 14393.51, Intel HD Graphics driver, and firmware update. All separate. Everything seems to be working nicely. Except losing the lock screen background image when waking from sleep.

    How does SIM work in a Surface 3?

    I have a L950 with AT&T. I asked them if I just put my phone SIM into the S3 LTE, would it work? They're both nano. Rep said no it won't work. But for another $10/mo, they can give me a SIM that works with the tablet. Hmmm, more money. I'm actually curious whether the phone SIM would work in...

    Surface 3 Specs

    Yes, I did. That's why I asked here. Because there is no information from the product page. But I did chat with online CS. The answer to both questions is NO. I'm going to cancel my order from IT. Disappointing. I'll stick to the SP3.

    Surface 3 Specs

    Crickets? Any mods here that care to comment? Also, does the full USB port have enough to power an external USB drive like the SP3?

    install window 10 on old computer

    Installed win10 Pro 64bit on 8-yr-old Dell Latitude D430 with only 2GB ram. Works just fine. Edge is really slow on sites with lots of ads though, which was noted. I had win XP, 7, 8, and 8.1 on it before.

    Please help windows 10 factory reset is stuck for 9 hours now.

    You need to use the media creation tool (search at MS site), and make a USB flash drive or even burn a DVD. Boot to the device you made and follow the prompts. I ran into this same problem when I hard reset. The good think is once you do a clean install, windows will remember that you upgraded...

    Reset Win10 on Surface 3 result in blue screen

    Happened here to my 8-yr old Dell laptop. I'm an insider and my laptop was running perfectly fine. Win10 gave new life to this old machine. I was stoked! Stoked and anal enough to go ahead and hard reset so I can have a squeaky clean PC. I opted for the full reset with format (can't remember the...

    Hey Cortana and Word Definitions

    ^there's a setting in win10 to only respond to you. I don't know how well it works though since I haven't played with 'hey cortana' much yet.

    Band shutting off/powering down on it's own

    I'm not so sure it's the firmware update that caused it since my Band got that last week. I started getting the shutdown issue just the other day. I did the hard reset, and it seemed to have worked most of the day yesterday. I put it on the charger after another shutdown, and took it off after...
