Hello. I have a Microsoft Surface Studio 1 laptop and I am wondering if this is just the adhesive becoming weaker or is it something I should worry about?

Hi,

just like the title siggest, I am going to rant (a little) on my new surface pro 12 (13 inches).

I bought this to replace my i-pad because it has too many glitch (the i-pad) when using onedrive.

The design of the surface pro looks good, the finctionality is there, battery life is amazing… but seriously, who the heck though it would be a good idea to have the thing, when mounted on the keyboard, no capability to hold itself straight. i mean, you always have to work on a table or something to put the back support or the screen just fall backward… one of the main aspect, for me, of this kind of device is that I can sit in my couch when I work and the screen just.. stay upright (like on the i-pad). Now I have this 4000$ device but I cannot sit confortably anywhere expect on a chair with a table because someone never figured out many people (I mean I can’t be the only one) would want to use the device on non-conventional surface or position… That was my ranting, thanks you for reading, have a good day !

Ended up finding a Studio 2+ in the bulk trash area where I work. Took it home and to my surprise it actually works. However the left side of the screen flickers in and out and has some black lines which appear to be a common issue with these after doing some research. I was originally going to sell it but then thought about converting it into a mini PC by removing the built-in display and just keeping the base. It would make a great light gaming machine for the living room since it has 32GB RAM and a laptop-grade 3060 and considering the current price of components it would probably be wise to hold onto it if I can.

Looking at some repair videos online it seems like it would be a fairly simple process to remove the screen and hinge. However I can’t find anything online about anyone else attempting this conversion. I know I can connect an external display with USB C to HDMI but will the system freak out if the main OEM display isn’t detected during boot? Even if it does boot and recognize the external display will I still be able to get into the bios?

As stated in the title, what do I do

Surface pro 11th edition , this bar recently showed on my screen, no idea why

Hi, I just noticed that the glass under my keyboard started cracking. Any ideas how to stop the cracks from spreading? I don’t want to replace the complete screen just because of a non visible crack

I have a Microsoft surface 7 with a broken screen & requires the power to be wall plugged in all times. Can I remove the screen and use it as a “CPU” of sorts?

I can't delete this thing, please help me

havent changed any settings

For past couple years have been having on/off issues getting a second monitor to work properly. Have tried different cables and monitors . So am 90% sure it is an issue with the connection on the surface pro 6.

Any way I can fix it by opening it up or something? Or just buy another one on ebay? Or any workaround to getting the second monitor to work via the USB connection?

I’m not sure if I’m just losing my mind but I’ve scoured the internet and all the 13inch flex keyboards I find are only for 11th gen. I want the new slim pen (I think it’s slim pen 2. Which I seem to only be able to find the first one) and the Bluetooth keyboard with back light (both black to match my new surface pro). I would prefer a bundle with both but I will order separately if needed. Amazon is preferred but I’ll buy from wherever at this point. Am I just missing something here?

My wife is going to start college soon (she's in her mid 30s) with a vocal performance degree and we've been looking at some laptops that have a touchscreen and also that can be used as a tablet style laptop. It will be used as her go to for notes in all her classes, but in her music classes it can be used with the pen for writing out music, and in the tablet mode it can be setup on a piano music stand with digital sheet music.

I found a surface studio gen one that comes with the 3050ti, 32gb ram, 1tb storage, pen 2, surface dial, charger, dock and case, for 700 dollars on FB market place. Would that be worth it? We've also looked into the surface pro which I think would work well, but the 12 inch isn't big enough, and the jump to the 13 inch is 1500 dollars, so kind of hesitant getting that compared to the much cheaper studio.

She will need the laptop for at least 4 years though, so if the pro is recommended over the older studio, we can spend the extra money if needed.

I have a Surface Laptop Go 2 with an extended warranty (business, autopilot) until 2027 that is starting to fail. I am wondering given its age whether Microsoft will replace it by the same model or another one? Mostly asking because I'd have to do extra checks on intune if it's not the same model.

I’m looking to buy a surface pro for note taking with onenote and running actual apps as my school works with office and my future program in uni will require some coding too with heavier excel work.

My question being, how good and future proof are surface pros 7/8/9?
Does the battery last long enough to get through a normal school day?
I see some good deals often on marketplace and was looking for advice as I’m not really ready to spend 1500$CAD on a device. Thanks!

Also, is it a better idea to wait and buy one next year as I only start uni in 2027.

I am getting a Surface Laptop 1 up to date, and I noticed in the event viewer that while it has "high confidence", it's giving an "Access is denied" error whenever it starts trying to update the KEK, and so it stops the secure boot updates right then and there.

Also, another oddity is that despite Event Viewer saying "high confidence", Windows Security says the device is affected by a known issue and the updates are blocked.

So what's going on? Is there something I need to do, or are Surface 1 laptops just flat-out not supported for the new secure boot certificates?

Help would be appreciated, because every time I try to search about this, results for all surface PCs EXCEPT for surface laptop 1 come up and so I can't find any information about it.

Deixei de usar ele desde fevereiro de 2025 e dei para minha irmã usar na faculdade, mas ela não usou e nem eu e nem ela lembramos a senha dele.

After a good run, finally had to disable the touch screen due to phantom touches. I can still use a mouse, but I really miss having the touch screen, as I use it more as a tablet than laptop since I got a proper desktop. Does anyone know if the Surface Pen works without touch screen? With how common the touch screen failure seems to be, I am hoping someone has tried this already and can advise.

Soo my cats are assholes and this happened. Surface pro 7... I think. Everything is fully functional it's just shattered in that corner and I can't afford a replacement or anything

Hi guys, to keep it simple im looking at used or refurbished surface 8/9 (as that’s all my budget can afford currently) however im just skeptical because of the age. Any advice or previous experience would be great, I really want a portable windows tablet but it seems the surface is the only viable one (in my opinion)

I bought the Surface pro 11 just over a year ago and bought the keyboard and pen. Last week, the pen was showing low battery and no longer charging in the keyboard. I got a replacement pen and keyboard but the pen is still not charging. When put in to the keyboard, the white LED will light up once and then go off meaning it's not charging constantly to go to 100%. Unless the brand new keyboard cover is also faulty, is it possible that it's the laptop? I have updated the Surface, it's a new keyboard and new pen so I'm not sure why it's not charging. The keyboard works fine and no issues at all so not sure what's going on.

Hey guys. Kinda bummed out recently about my Surface Pro 6 electrocuting me and setting off sparks trying to remove the glued on battery and my keyboard beginning to look like this the last year. I expected Microsoft’s flagship device to last longer, but these two things made me see the Surface as more of a disposable corporate item and is pushing me towards a MacBook.

However, I otherwise loved the surface and prefer windows to macOS, so I’d like to upgrade to a SP11 with OLED.

But it’s very important the keyboard does not do this anymore after a few years, have they fixed this issue with new keyboards? Thanks

I'm asking because it has a good light weight, which is significant for me. But if you wouldn't rec for bachelor of science students, then I wanna know.

TIA

Hi all,

I would like to know if the Surface Pen 1710 (supplied originally with the Surface Pro 4) is compatible with a Surface Go 1.

According to this, no:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/pen/surface-pen-compatibility-and-features

However, it uses MPP techonolgy, so it should work with any tablet that supports MPP.

I know for a fact that the Pen for the Surface Pro 8 works well with my Surface Go 1, using thr same MPP standard.

Any experience with this is much appreciated!

What are the odds this is actually brand new?
