I'm a long time Microsoft Band user. Now that my band is gone, i'm looking at Garmin for my replacement. First observation? Too many choices. Is there something that helps you pare down your choices? I want to have the full Windows 10 Mobile integration experience (notifications for sure)...

Do all the Garmin smartwatches support push notifications? Or are there just certain models. I'm coming from a Microsoft Band the past several years so there are too many choices! :)

One desktop PC, one laptop and one Surface Pro 4. I do have the same Microsoft account on all the computers.

Has anyone done a study or analysis of the various options for backing up the data on your Windows devices? I am looking into a solution for my home where I have several Windows 10 devices with local data on the hard drive (e.g. documents, photos, music, home movies, spreadsheets). I need the...

Anyone know of any discounts or specials with renewing your Groove Music Pass this month?

Still available?

Hi. For some reason, I elected to keep my music collection in one folder so I have both my own ripped mp3 files from CD's I own, and files I downloading with my Zune Music Pass. Now I want to separate the two. Is there an easy/quick way for me to tell the difference between a mp3 file that I...

I have used Band with my old Microsoft account for a year. I have to move to a new Microsoft account and don't want to lose all my data. How do i transfer my data to my new Microsoft account so i can keep the existing data and continue logging new data?

Can anyone recommend what the perfect compliment mouse-wise would be for the Surface Pro 4? Something small. Something that doesn't require a USB dongle. Is Microsoft marketing anything in particular?

I used to get live tiles telling me how many unread emails I had, and what my next appointment was going to be. Has that feature been taken away from Windows 10 Mobile? It was very useful and honestly critical in my line of work.

I upgraded my Lumia 920 yesterday to Windows 10 mobile. I placed it on my wireless charging plate last night and this morning it was out of charge. Anyone had an issue like this?

Windows-based Drones/Copters My son wants to get into the world of remote controlled copters and drones. I'd like them to be Windows Tablet/Phone supported. Does anyone know of any manufactures that support Windows devices (either Windows 8.1/10 or Windows Phone)?

I plan to. I hope it comes a little closer to looking like a real watch. My wife loves the Apple Watch design (although not the price). I'm hoping they get close enough to that look/feel that she'll go for the Microsoft Band 2.

Im not upgrading because I paid for the Win 8.1 pro pack and Windows media center is the hub of my home entertainment system. Windows 10 breaks it. Windows Media Center > whatever you get with Win 10.

Yeah, just give me a Microsoft ecosystem supported DVR solution for cable/OTA and i'm good. I don't necessarily care where it lives in my ecosystem as long as I can get to it from everywhere else (XBOX 360, XBOX One, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Phone, etc.)
