Well, well. As I mentioned, I formatted the machine, and I've been monitoring it very close. To my very big surprise performance has been top notch. PCMark8 is hitting high around 3,000, and Excel...

Hmmm. So I decided to format the computer once more. This time I installed the Creators Update and I can feel it really fast, compared to last time. I downloaded PCMark 8 and made some comparisons. ...

Ok. I read a couple of posts and I need some help. From my understanding Performance Monitor allows you to watch a single process or group of them. Unfortunately I do not know which is the process...

Awesome! The more you know! I'll learn how to use it, and I'll post back! Thanks a bunch!

Yes! Task Manager apparently doesn't give me a complete picture. RAM usage is more than 50% (Which I believe it's because Windows is compressing and caching programs), CPU doesn't hit 100% and the...

Thanks for the reply! :D

Do remember this is the Ultrabook variant (6300U) which is roughly 50% of the total performance of the desktop's counterpart.

My best Example comes with Excel. After...

Sup people! Happy New Year to those I haven't given it to. I'm having some serious problems trying to upgrade to the latest Insider build. I'm currently in 15002.1001 on the fast ring. I'm stuck...

Bang! Problem solved! I also posted this in Neowin: Do I have a failing battery? Or is a program draining the heck out of it? - Surface Pro 3 - Hardware Hangout - Neowin Forums

I was suggested to...

I went ahead and reinstalled the drivers. Will wait for 4 hours to see if there's been any change.

Hmmm interesting. I'll try that! I think we could add that the device could have also been charged multiple times without it being fully discharged.

Let me update the original post with more information.

I bought it used in eBay. It only has 24 hours with me.

Thanks :)

Well then. It's not that I wanted to do that... I ended up wiping both Windows Installations. I'm back on RTM. What I can guess is that the OEM reserved partition got corrupted somehow and broke the...

Thanks a lot people for your answers! It seems that things could get a little complicated. What I am intending to do is to run Visual Studio.

The problem is that recent builds of Windows 10...

Thanks! Glad to know that there is a new version!

I've also checked and there are not going to be any more PCI network cards!!!

Sup pals! I've been googling a bit, but haven't pin pointed to a solution. I'm trying to achieve something a la parallels, in which I'd have a separate Windows installation and I can either boot...
