I got a Surface Pro 1 (1514) for a good price, the unit is almost pristine (almost)
I am having 2 different issues that I might get some answers to (I am not familiar with the Surface Line at all)
Battery;
sometimes it shows not detected, I do all the common fixes online..
it will then show 100% not charging, or just not charging, etc.. bottom line is "it's not charging"
Are these units prone to battery issues? will replacing battery resolve issue (best guess)
Upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1
I can't get this top upgrade, it keeps coming back with an update device drivers issue.
However, I also read if the battery is not at least 40% charged it won't upgrade.
Is that true? because I have done all the updates but yet it still won't go through.
One last thing I was also told that to upgrade I must have pretty much a pristine machine (no other software installed other than windows 8.0)
Is that true
OMG we noobs
thnx
