Just installed win10 on my sp3 as well.
But just a question on the installation, did you guys see the request to change the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) during the installation?

I just pressed ESC and skipped it. But what does it do? Do we need to change it?

How's the performance and battery life after update Windows 10?

Can't really comment on the battery life yet, as I upgraded during weekend and usually my sp3 just sit on the docking station on the weekend. Will see the battery life over this coming weekdays.

Performance wise, I would say not bad, if not better than win8.1, but the fan does kick in more often.
Microsoft Edge crashes quite often too. But I have been just used it like 2 days, so maybe some of the points here might not be accurate. tongue.gif

Hey guys I've been looking at the Surface Pro for sometime and thinking of buying it to replace my ipad and notebook let me know if I have the wrong idea or not...

I like my ipad because it is small, easy to charge and can play games/read/watch youtube on the bed before sleeping. But i'm beginning to hate mobile games because there are no good games all are quite similar but with different themes, and the irritating "mining" process all mobile games require me to do if i dowan to mind then use CC to buy credits to buy stuff. And the added annoyance of needing to be always online to play.

I like some good single player games and some retro games....like RTS type, Diablo type, Football manager type.

I mostly use my personal notebook nowadays as a music player, to watch video (plug to 40" TV) not much of a heavy gamer on pc, if got a game like Football Manager or FIFA probably can last me 1 year already.

So you think Surface is for me?

Personally I don't use SP3 for gaming. I tried installing FM2015 on it and the fan starts to kick in after a short time (I am playing it in a non air-cond room). After few trials, I finally gave up and not playing it anymore.
Besides the heat issue, playing FM on the small screen doesn't really as that enjoyable as well in my opinion.
But this might be just me, different person different preference.

Just for your reference, cheers. nod.gif
