    Surface Pro X and wired headphones

    Thanks for the non-answer. Some tech companies, including mine have had too many issues supporting Bluetooth headphones for remote work customer support.

    Surface Pro X and wired headphones

    Hello everyone, Just bought my X and so far so good with some apps not wanting to play nice but overall can work around. I've go a really nice SteelSeries Headphones and didnt want to buy a bluetooth version. So I bought a 3.5mm jack to USB C adapter but my Surface wont recognize it...

    Surface Pro X vs Go 2

    Based on what I’ve read on both these devices, It seems to me performance wise they may be similar (with the Go 2 maxed on specs). I would love for Daniel to do a comparison between the two of them. The reason I’m asking is my trustee Surface 4 is showing sign of ageing and likely will need to...

    Is there a way to one way sync in OneDrive?

    I have an Iphone with only 32G. Pics and video are gobbling all my memory. Is there a way to one way sync to OneDrive and not have it sync back to the iphone if I delete all those files?

    Any ways to get Win 10 Start Up Faster?

    I have a Surface 3 which claims to be a tablet. However, I find the wake up & start up time to be horrendous compared to any cheap tablet in the market. I've tried combination of sleep time & power setting but short of leaving the Surface on all the time is there any other tricks to have a...

    Wanted: Faster wake up time

    I often use my SP4 in tablet mode. However, the wake-up/boot up time is atrocious (1-2 minutes), which is unacceptable for any tablets. I've played with various power settings but it doesnt seem to help. Am I missing something? Is there something I can do to speed up wake up time? Thanks in...

    How would you rate 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' on a scale of 1-10?

    I wasn't expecting an 'Avatar' or 'Matrix' or even anything near the original Star Wars kind of cinematic 'Wow'. However, I was disappointed. If you cant match a new cinematic experience as mentioned above you better have a darn good story to tell. However, It was like watching a re-boot of the...

    Cortana in Canada

    Thank you for your help but ... nope, nope & nope. It will not allow any other language than English USA. I've gone on MS support web site and it seems i'm not the only one. And they have not given a satisfactory answer to anyone else either. So prob. a bug that will be fixed later.

    Cortana in Canada

    I doesn't work for me. Settings -> Time & Language -> Region & Language. English (Canada) was already installed. I deleted it then re-installed it but I never saw the "Download Speech Recognition" option.

    November Update - Where is find my device option?

    Downloaded the November update and read about the new "Find my Device" option found as a sub-menu in All Settings > Update and Security. Except that it's not there. I have a Surface Pro 3 and based in Canada. Is this a regional setting or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your help.

    So what would you like to see in Surface Pro 5?

    I know it's early in the game to suggest Surface 5 after 4 is barely launched... I got my i7 Surface 3 Pro a few weeks prior to the 4 launch. While there's a few nice touches added to the latest iteration, there's nothing compelling enough for me to salivate over. What I would really like in...

    Is the non-Pro version of Surface defunct?

    Not a peep from MS re. The Surface 4 (non Pro). Are they giving up on it? It would be a shame, good form factor & price range.

    Found a fix for disapearing soft keyboard when switching to tablet mode

    It seemed odd that at times when I was carrying my SP3 and opening the cover, the screen keyboard would not come up no matter what. I had to use the cover keyboard to log in. Very annoying and unintuitive. Does not impress any would be buyer. I believe the problem is SP3 remembers the last...

    Windows 10 - What do you think?

    Win 10 as a desktop is a great OS. However, for tablet owners its a long road ahead for MS to polish up user experience. The tablet mode feel like its 2 years away from working the way it should. Too many hiccups...
