So far so good, but there are a few issues with Windows 10 and this device

This was perfect for my small desk with two monitors. I'm having some issues with Windows 10 and this device, so I thought I'd post my fixes to help others. Both problems are fixed with the same resolution. Also, I highly recommend adding another 8GB of RAM, which is very easy and you can find a YouTube video on how to install it for those who are less tech savvy. Problem 1: No sound when an external speaker is connected. Problem 2: The second monitor does not recognize an HDMI connection. Both issues were resolved by downloading the latest Intel HD Graphics 630 driver. While Windows 10 is generally good with drivers, it was using an older driver and when trying to update automatically it reported that you are currently using the correct driver. After updating the driver, your second monitor should recognize an HDMI connection. For the audio issue about Cortana, look for audio settings. Select the "Speakers/Headphones" option, click the down arrow next to "Set as Default" and select "Default Communication Device" (this will not remain the default until the driver is updated). I hope this helps others as these are the only problems I've had.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
