Well, I have a Surface Pro (yes, the origional) and I upgraded to Windows 10.

 

Ever since I went to 10, The Surface wont stay asleep.  I put it to sleep, and close the cover, and throw it in my bag,  And the damn thing is burning hot when I get home.

 

Also in general, My Surface Pro just runs HOT, has a much shorter battery life, and seems to be having bower management issues........

 

Anyone else running old hardware like me?  And are you seeing issues with Windows 10 too??

      My headless Windows 10 machine keeps shutting down
      By Rodf
      Last weekend I set up a new Windows 10 Professional box. I took my old Windows 10 Professional box, put it onto another desk, and got it going without a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. It seems to be working fine, with one problem. It tends to shut down soon after no one using it. That surprises me, I thought it would stay up and running, whether anyone was using it or accessing it. (I've got a SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition database on that machine, which I want to have access to from any other machine in my home network.)
       
      So, why is it shutting down so quickly? Or is that some sort of hibernation or sleep mode that I'm unfamiliar with?

      Can Windows 10 Pro run headless?
      By Rodf
      I've got a new desktop, which I'm going to use to replace an old Windows 10 desktop. Both are running Windows 10 Professional. At this point I don't have a spare monitor, keyboard, or mouse. On the weekend it's not a problem, because I can disconnect my work laptop, to which I've got a second monitor attached to the docking station, and the mouse and keyboard are also attached to the docking station. That's fine, on the weekends.
       
      But how about during the week, when I must have the work laptop docked to the docking station, and the mouse, keyboard and second monitor also connected to the keyboard? So, I'm wondering, can I leave the old desktop running, connected by Wi-Fi to my router, but with no mouse, keyboard, or monitor? Or must it have at least a mouse and keyboard connected to it?

      Windows 10 May 2020
      By JackoUK
      I have become somewhat lazy (using the in-place rather than the clean-build route) and bullish (reckless?) so made changes to all my machines this morning.
      In general everything went slowly and smoothly ...
       
      - DELL 7920 Windows Pro for Workstations
      - HP Microserver N36 W Pro
      - HP Microserver N54 W Pro
      - 2x HP Microserver Gen8 W Pro
      - LINX 1010 Leather Tablet W Home
      - LINX 1010 Tablet W Pro
      - CHUWI Hi13 Tablet W Home
       
      … the only exceptions being 2 x LINX 1010Education tablets which run W Pro: here I received error 0xa0000400 after a message saying I was compatible and good to go.
      Something to look at later … or wait for my turn.
       
      So far the usual annoyances such as changes to windows positioning in Explorer and Edge but nothing substantial.
      I also find it necessary to switch Network Discovery off and back on to make sure the shared file systems are visible in Explorer/Network.
       
      Couple of nice, if small, things I’ve noticed already:
      -          GPU temperature and disk type (SSD, SD, HDD) in Task Manager/Performance
      -          In Security Settings one can dismiss warnings that there are no MSA accounts for Onedrive, giving a green tick in the notification area
      Still no CPU performance graph for the Gen8 – maybe that’s my fault for not being at the latest BIOS level?
       
      While I am critical of MSFT on other counts, I think W10 is one of the best things the company has done. Over the last month I’ve upgraded two old (7 and 9 years) laptops from W7 to W10 (still FOC producing a genuine activated licenses) and am pleasantly surprised how good the driver detection and provision is.

      hardware raid 1 appears 2 disks in N40L after upgrading to win10
      By ZZzzGeorge
      I have a HP MicroServer N40L:
       
      Windows 7 in 120G SSD as boot drive;
      TWO identical 4TB disks with hardware RAID 1 set up;
      Only ONE 4TB disk can be seen in Windows 7.
       
      It's been working perfectly for almost 8 yrs.
       
      Recently i upgraded to Windows 10 and then strange things happened:
      1. Two 4TB disks cannot be recoganised in Win10, i have to treat them like a new disk, to re-format them, which is strange, but it's ok luckily i backed up everything;
       

       
      2. After re-formated them and RAID 1 set up again, TWO 4TB disks appears in Windows 10. Isn't one supposed to be hidden?!
       
      It seems like N40L Raid 1 is not working on Windows 10? Do I need a new raid driver? but i couldn't find one.
       
      Is anyone using N40L with Win10 and hardware Raid 1? Please help!
      Thanks

      What does this mean?
      By Rodf
      I've had the attached appear on two of my Windows 10 machines today. The picture I captured from my laptop, which I've had for two years. What does this mean?
