Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

If you are getting lots of fan try setting your battery to "balanced". That made a big difference for me.

For the i7 you need the ones from all the way back in March. I think they are posted somewhere on here.

Yeah I'm on an i7, I'll try to dig them up. I put august on my onedriver similar to sharpc

Ugh. Do you know the exact version reference? x.xx.xx.xxxx ? If I look at the intel site? Thanks!

Somewhere between page 62 and 65 I think

Windows 10 Build 9926 on Surface Pro 3 i7 needs old video drivers here.

As am I. Going back in coach.

I can tell you that the Independent DPI per monitor issue is NOT fixed. In fact, it's still exactly the same as Windows 8.1. I highly recommend against upgrading to 10 as it's FULL of bugs.

Has anyone tried the new Windows 10 that was released today? Does it let you set DPI scaling independently on each monitor? I really hope that issue is fixed.

I believe this was corrected in the last version. I could drag a window over from my 27inch monitor running 2500x1400 @ 100% and would rescale everything to 150% on the surface screen automatically.

This issue is most definitely NOT fixed. I spent the weekend upgrading my Surface to Windows 10 and I'm extremely disappointed that so far Microsoft has done absolutely nothing to address this issue. In my professional opinion, I strongly suggest again upgrading a physical computer to Windows 10 as it's full of bugs. It seems to have a lot of potential, so if you want to play around with it, just setup a virtual machine. I hope they fix issue this soon.

Sorry I was just confused because your hyperlink is to something in August

Those are the most compatible drivers right now for the i7 SP3 running Windows 10.

Ah the video driver is the same version in that bundle. Sorry to clog the thread.

Two days in and "yes," it has problems. Battery discharge/charge times are horrible compared to 8.1, had heartburn with docked versus undocked in the port replicator and recognizing monitors, but going to hang in there and ride it out.

If it gets really gruesome I do have the image and tools to do a bare metal restore, including my apps and data, but a couple of others up here who I've noted that it's their production machine as well and being a techie I'll ride it out.

Has anyone figured out how to make the pen button open Desktop OneNote 2013 instead of MUI OneNote? I set it to default which used to work but no longer does.

MUI OneNote seems to have removed the option to change pen thickness? Only choice you have is ultra-fine which kind of blows. Whatever happened to the cool and useful little pop-up pie controls? Is this another example of M$ improving our lives by breaking something everyone loved?

I noticed that it's a new OneNote just for the Windows 10 Preview. You're right, it's missing a lot but I figured it's just because it's a new Preview client only versions and wasn't going to worry about it. I haven't tried to run the old desktop version and I never did much with the MUI version.
