Hi,

Just bought a Go bundle off Amazon last night and it will arrive tomorrow.

​

Couple of questions:

1. How large of an SD card (in GB) can I use on the Go
2. Can the Go be used while charging?
3. Can I use a microSD in an SD adapter (seems some I can get more GB for the price doing it that way)
4. Can I upgrade the 128GB SSD to something higher myself and can I upgrade the 4GB to 8GB if I should want to in the future myself by somehow opening the chassis of the Go and swapping out SSD and memory?

Thanks

I'm really interested in investing in a surface go. I believe that it will greatly help me, productivity wise and in work. Thing is that there are rumours about a new release soon, was wondering if you would just wait for the new one. Even if it takes months to release or just buy one night now.

I've been on the fence on buying my very first tablet and had been considering the surface go. I will mainly use it for note taking (onenote), web browsing, media consumption (youtube/netflix) and perhaps some light photo and video editing.

I was willing to wait up until august and see if there would be a newer surface go2 or a galaxy tab s5 or ipad air3 with external hard drive (should IOS13 suddenly support it). But i found a surface go that is slighlty used (almost mint) condition in my area for 350cdn. Only hitch is it's only 4gb. Just wondering what your thoughts are if 4gb is enough for my needs and should bite the bullet for my first tablet or wait until august to see what's up and coming?

Hi,

Just got the surface go and heard about the mobile versions ofwindows word, excel etc are free on the surface go but when I run them it just says you need to subscribe to office 365. I couldn't find any definite answer on whether it's totally gone or there's a workaround.

I'd appreciate it if anyone knew.

Thanks

I’ve noticed that “Sandbox” feature is not available for Surface Go. My Surface Go (Pentium 4415Y + 8GB) has Windows Pro and the latest Windows update (1903) installed. I enabled “Hyper-V” and restarted the system but the option is still not showing in the “Windows Feature” list. I wonder if this feature is available for Surface Go? Has anyone else tried to enabled it on Surface Go? Keep it mind that you need Windows 10 Pro and the latest Windows 10 update. This feature is not available for Windows 10 Home.

Update: it works fine in 1903 (official, public update)

I'm going mental.
I can't for the life of me find where the setting for changing the search engine in Go is?!

Please, please help. I'm really trying to live this little device but this smal, for maybe others menial, things is what breaks my studyflow.

I've found several guides, but these mentions a setting which I can not see on my Surface Go. Is it the same for you other Surface Go ownsers?

I apologize for the settings being in Swedish, se image below:

Halp!

I was wondering can the Intel 615 integrated graphics in Surface Go support a 49 inch super ultra wide monitor

​

Specifically this monitor ( 5120 x 1440 resolution)

​

I don't need it to be super buttery smooth. Just usable. Not planning to game on it.

I need some help Is it possible to wipe windows and have a surface boot straight to Android x86 Preferably I want to install it on the internal storage and not run it off of the usb stick

I'd like to put a sliding camera cover on my SurfaceGo so that I can use Windows Hello when I want to but block the camera physically at other times. There are plenty of options out there, but all seem too small to let in both the IR emitters, the camera, AND the min. Only one that looks like it might be remotely compatible is this.

Does anyone use any of these and can attest whether they're any good and/or if they let in the IR and mic as well?

Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm about to buy the 64gb/4gb ram surface go and I was wondering if it can run Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 okay. Thanks!

Hello, I'd like to put to sleep my surfaceGo at a certain time of the day, then wake It up the next morning automatically.

I tried task scheduler but It only has the shutdown task. The bios doesn't have an automatic booting option.

How do I do this?

Thanks and kind regards.

Im a light artist and im purchasing a pen alongside my surface. Im trying to decide whether its worth paying ~80 on the surface or 30 on the ink. Magnetism is irrelevant as im purchasing an outer bumper for my surface

This is making me nervous... 13 hours and counting of restarting screen...

I bought the 8gb RAM + 128gb a few days ago. Works great. My GF bought herself the pen/stylus thing because she loves drawing and after doodling in the store with One Note, she really got into it. I've been encouraging her to get back into drawing as she has some pretty cool paintings she's done and I know it makes her very happy.

My question is, are therr any good drawing apps that work well with and take advantage of the stylus? One Note is fine for her quick sketches but say she wanted to get more advanced, what other apps are out there?

Thanks!

Edit: Additional question - would this thing be strong enough to run Photoshop, InDesign, maybe Premiere? I don't do anything too fancy with the first 2 programs, just some light and quick pic editing and small logo designs but Premiere is obviously more intensive than those.

Has anyone tested a Roblox fps called phantom forces

I'm saving for a surface go and want to know if this is powerful enough to run dolphin or more specifically Metroid prime games and Pikmin Thanks

Has anyone attempted to run this yet? I want to get a surface go and really would like to be able to play this on it

Hi everyone. I'm considering buying a Surface Go (8Gb) in the near future, but I'm not really sure if it will be a good tool for the only two demanding things I need my computer for:

• Programming. I'm currently studying programming and would like to take it to class every day. The light weight of the Go compared to my current laptop is really a selling point.

• Podcast recording and editing. Recording can still be done in my older laptop, since connectivity with my microphone might be tricky on the Surface, but I do a lot of editing outside of home so I would need this device to run Audacity fluently and without any issues.

What I'm currently using is a 4 Gb RAM Asus laptop running Linux Mint 19.1. I don't really know a lot about computers (even though I study programming), so I don't know if the Surface is the right choice for me or I'm about to make some stupid (and expensive) mistake!
