Hi All, I am currently migrating my devices and workflow from Apple and OSX to Windows 10. I have got a workflow problem that I can not seem to work out how to change. When I open up a new Word Document via either Word 2016, Word Mobile or Word Online (depending on device) it always saves the...

Hi All, I have just installed Windows 10 Home on my 2012 MacBook Pro via Parallels Virtual Desktop for Mac. My reason for doing this is that I am slowly migrating back from Apple to Microsoft and have been using a Surface 3 tablet for some time to test my experience with Windows 10, and I have...

Hi All, I have been using a Surface 3 now for about a month and using Edge as my primary Internet Explorer and I am finding it both a fantastic and horrible experience. The UI and it features are lovely and I have a Lumia 950 so it is brilliant working together, but on the Surface it is very...

I can say, with my hand on my heart that since starting this thread on the 22nd October 2016 and using the Lumia 950 as my daily phone I do not miss iPhone or iOS one bit. I still use the iPhone 6 as a work phone and there is n desire to go back to Apple as a personal phone. There are some...

I have just watched the new Windows Central Podcast, primarily on their opinion on 'Why Does Windows 10 Mobile Exist' and to be very honest, if what Zac says is the realty of what is happen (or close to it) with MSFT then I am totally OK with that. The OS works very well for me, I am happy with...

I thought I would put up a quick pick of my original Lumia 950, it met a sad end. When I ordered it I intended to replace my iPhone 5s with it as I had become sick and tired of iOS. I was bored with it, how it looked the who Apple OS, and I wanted a change, something that more suited my needs...

I used to like the Mail and Calendar App on iOS and liked the fact that they synced with my mac. But when MSFT released the Outlook I moved iCloud email to that as I liked the format better, but kept my calendar in the native app. Since moving to the Lumia I have realised how much I prefer the...

I want to mention my experience so far with apps. I was concerned when I moved to the Lumia that I would have the lack of apps issue that is frequently discussed with Windows Phone. What this subject has done for me has made me explore alternatives and third party apps. For example YouTube lacks...

I've also been using the Surface 3 I bought earlier this year but never spent much time with, and I can say I have not used my 2012 MBP unless I needed some heavy lifting in Light Room. I can honestly say that I am really getting into Windows 10 and the Surface and after watching the Surface...

So it has been two weeks now since my second shot with the Lumia 950 and W10M and I can tell you with 100% honesty that I have not missed my iPhone or iOS one bit. I still use an iPhone 6, I have to for work, and I don't wish to use it, in fact several features now annoy me on it, and the iOS 10...

My 950 has just linked with my Jaybird X2 Bluetooth headphones and all functionality works, ruddy awesome. Sadly my fantastic Bowes & Wilkens Over Ear headphones lose the volume control via the remote, apparently this only works with iOS, boo.

I want to test out the GPS quality of the 950. I am about to take up running again and in the past I've used Nike+ on iOS, now I've got the 950 I am limited to Runtastic.

Hiya, I used to run quite a bit and used the Nike+ running app on the iPhone. I've decided to start running again and now I've moved to W10M and the 950 I'm wondering what the GPS quality is like on the 950 and if it works well with Runtastic (as other good apps are not supporting Windows)...

Someone commented earlier in this thread that they've found the 950's signal quality to be poor and inconsistent. I'm finding quite the opposite at the moment. My 950 is getting strong signal everywhere I've been and in the usual bad spots, including my house, it is out performing my work iPhone...

I don't like this Windows Central App, it doesn't let me type paragraphs, it just bunches the sentences into one long paragraph. Very annoying.
