    This PC can't run Windows 11

    I have a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 11 right now (insider dev. program), and has been for weeks and weeks just fine...so it seems. All my other computers (all more powerful than the SP3) say they don't meet the requirements for Windows 11. I just figured MS is placating to the newer models...

    I'm standing my ground, and sticking with Windows Mobile.

    Need a little help/advice, please! my 950XL finally is showing its age...last week my start-up screen was lacking MOST of my apps, swipe left and my app list shows the same dwindled list! The MAIN PROBLEM is I can't access my Settings...the only way I can see contacts (or anything else) is to go...

    I have to boot Win 10 four times before the second screen will come up

    I sometimes have an issue with one of my screens not coming on when booting up, or waking from a sleep state (using 3 screens in total, and happens to the same screen when it happens)...I am able to kick start the non-reactive screen by powering that screen off and then powering it back on; has...

    Want a Surface Duo? Here is how to save $700 by trading in your phone

    When I went to place my order, I didn't see any listing for a 900/950XL trade-in. I hope this is an oversight that will soon be corrected.

    Is the price right for the Surface Duo? Let us know in our latest poll

    I saw where Microsoft is offering up to $700 trade-in discount for pre-orders...when I went to place my order, I didn't see any listing for a 900/950XL. I hope this is an oversight that will soon be corrected. I KNOW that if they are not going to give consideration for a loyal windows consumer...

    Microsoft, ship Duo in two versions for consumers!

    I think that MS finally figured out that getting mobile consumers to Microsoft's Services is a much shorter route through Android than to try and get them to switch from Android. They tried for years to try it the other way (Windows Phone to Android apps) with no success.

    Reasons not to buy the Surface Duo

    It needs to have a great camera...period!

    A Microsoft Surface phone could have THREE screens, according to patent

    Robin, I believe the third screen is on the hinge, sort of a notification strip when the unit is in the closed position.

    Should Surface Duo should have housed a slide mechanism rather than flip?

    It'd be great if the hinge had a 2 line notification screen that could be for showing incoming caller ID, email notification, calendar appointments, reminders, volume adjustment when the Duo was in the folded position...shouldn't be that hard to do, I would think. That would eliminate the need...

    Should Surface Duo should have housed a slide mechanism rather than flip?

    True...but, I will have gone through the motion of pulling out of my pocket my that time anyway, so one more step won't kill me:) - of course I base this lack of mortality on the assumption that the hinge mechanism executes smooth and nimbly :wink:.

    Should Surface Duo should have housed a slide mechanism rather than flip?

    Folded, both screens are protected - that alone makes it a better choice for me.

    One good reason why Duo is a good idea

    I know of a lot of very good people that use Android and iOS, by choice; and between the two I personally have leaned toward iOS because they value privacy but, they are also a money pit...so that is a deal breaker. Android has always given me the impression of that person that when left I a...

    Warm Welcome to the Duo

    I literally had a tear come to my eye when Panos introduced the Duo (no joke! left eye...right side stayed macho:). I would think that at this early stage - and the release date so far out - Microsoft will keep A LOT of the 'treasured features' close to the vest, to keep the competition...

    Why has the Harman Kardon Invoke stopped working with iHeartRadio?

    All Business, I had the same issue on one of my Invokes, with not being able to connect with iHeart - seemed like it was going to connect , but didn't (Cortona said "connecting to iheart radio", then came back with "something went wrong, try again later"). My other Invokes had no issue...so...
