    Windows has the feature to swipe on the keyboard if you choose the small mobile Version as the on-screen keyboard

    More surface laptop users will upgrade from windows 10 S to pro?

    I think every private user should upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. If they want, they can Limit their devices to store-apps only but being on Pro always leaves the Option open to install other programs, which is in any case preferable.

    What color will you choose for the Surface Laptop?

    I think I would go with Platinum as I really like the Overall look of the Grey Shell. While the other Colors look great on the Keyboard area I do not like the Burgundy Shell. Also I do not know why Color Options are only available on one model and only in the US

    Surface Phone vs iPhone 7 pro?

    Re: iPhone 7 pro vs SurfacePhone In my Opinion the Surface Phone will win because the iPhone 7 will most likely not have innovative features other than "better specs" "it is thinner now" while the Surface Phone will hopefully bring Continuum in a perfect form and with the Surface Branding it...

    What Are Your Thoughts On Windows 10 Mobile VS 8.1?

    In my opinion Windows 10 offers a lot more options for the future with the Universal Windows Platform but as always: new features come with new bugs. WP 8.1 was an OS which has existed and been bug fixed long before I joined the smartphone World (which was 2014). Another negative point with Win...

    post AU Cortana opens my web searches in IE instead of Edge

    I am using the AU, t I do not have this problem. Maybe you have to change your standard browser in the Cortana settings.

    Lumia 930 + Win phone 10 + Hey Cortana

    It is indeed under the "extras" page but it is called Voice Activation and not "Hey Cortana"

    "Hey Cortana" in Germany on PC but not on mobile

    So yesterday I installed the anniversary Update on my Lumia. It brought improvements to Cortana, but not "Hey Cortana". At least I can use Cortana now without activating my GPS, which is great!

    "Hey Cortana" in Germany on PC but not on mobile

    This really annoys me, too. Cortana lost so many features with the upgrade. I hope they will come back with Redstone 2, which focusses more on mobile

    "Hey Cortana" in Germany on PC but not on mobile

    Sometimes I am having problems with Cortana, too. Often she would just crash when I try to insert a voice command. But I feel like it got better with the cumulative updates. But still the experience is worse than on 8.1 - but for me setting reminders works fine - on mobile and PC.

    "Hey Cortana" in Germany on PC but not on mobile

    So you have the same situation as I do. :/ it makes no sense IMO for Microsoft to enable this feature on PC but not on mobile :((

    "Hey Cortana" in Germany on PC but not on mobile

    So "Hey Cortana" is completely unavailable in your localization :/ because I in Germany use the same German region/language on pc and phone but Voice activation is only available on my PC. I cannot comment on battery drain tough as I am using a stationary Computer.

    "Hey Cortana" in Germany on PC but not on mobile

    But is it available on PC for you? I hope the AU will bring it to mobile, too

    "Hey Cortana" in Germany on PC but not on mobile

    So I am using Windows 10 on both my PC and my LUMIA 930 phone. As I am from Germany I use the german cortana pack - which is works fine overall. But on my PC I can say "Hey Cortana" and when I try to activate it on my phone it tells me: "this function is not available in your region". If...

    Is there any way to stop phone from locking

    You can simply change the settings on your phone so that your screen never locks automatically. Guess this would solve your problem
