Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

[jnjroach]

Using 10166, SP3 and Office 2016 365 Pro Plus....can anyone confirm if you get the crash with Skype for Business....open an IM window and minimize the IM and the Skype for Business main window....it automatically crashes the program. Wondering if someone else can confirm...Windows 10? Office 2016? Or is it Exchange policy trying to switch the program back to Lync 2013? Googled it...nothing very relevant.

I'm seeing the same behavior with the latest version of Office 2016's Skype for Business client....

Topic of Edge...anyone know the scoop on why Google would not have open source search ability to allow us to add Google as the default in Edge? The fact that we are able to get Wiki, DuckDuckGo, and others as search engines in Edge baffles me, but the big fish in the big pond does not yet have such a small ability. Any hacks to get this working?

I've used irfan view in the past

Jup. IrfanView is a must have but sadly it's not very well touch optimized
Although I never use the image folder viewer, I always use the Explorer.

So Surface 3 Pros has a valid license or misunderstanding?

Now thats a good question. Our tab does have a licence burnt in, right? So if Microsoft would allow it they could also accept this licence for W10, or not?
Guess we wont get an exception and still have to upgrade from W8. But after that a clean w10 install should read the key directly from the uefi, or not?

I have been fighting with my SP3 to get it to build 10166. Well, come to find out Microsoft suspended ISO and updates to new build while they prep for RTM.

So since I have to reinstall today, I'm stuck with 10162? What BS.

Have been following this forum on and off for a long time - do you think it will be safe to wait only a week after release before upgrading to Win 10 - or would you recommend longer?

So did this fix your connectivity problems with the docking station?

Completely ...

Note: Turns out that this is exactly the same driver as used in the eTauro SP3 dock w/ethernet. That comes with the Realtek USB GBe NIC integrated

I'm not waiting at all, I plan to upgrade all of my computers on the 29th if possible. Why wait? What would waiting a week accomplish?

Same here. Auto push on the 29th to insiders at the very least.

Anyone having the problem with their keyboard Home, End, and PgDn keys not functioning and the PgUp key opening up the boxes in FireFox? In IE, PgDn opens the "DOM Explorer." I've asked about it on the Windows Insider Forum but have gotten no response.

I think Win 10, in contrast to every other Windows OS, has been so thoroughly vetted by members of the Insider program, that it's the first Windows OS that I have no problem recommending on release day. Does it have issues? Sure. But nothing major, and as users we just know so much about the OS, again in contrast to OS's that have come before. For me, very different experience.
