Just a week after start Windows 10 deployment, Microsoft announced yesterday that all units of Surface 3 and Surface Pro 3, the only models that are still available in the official store of the Redmond company, which is sell from now on the new version of your operating system will be installed as standard. This is an expected step, although it is good that they have rushed to take it to avoid all those who buy a Surface (surely many will do it now thinking about the next school year), the tedious update process.
If we go to the Online store de Microsoft in SpanishHim, we see that they already announce the Surface 3 with Windows 10 big. But one thing happens, if we buy and look at the characteristics of the equipment that we are about to acquire, it continues to indicate that the operating system is Windows 8.1. The same goes for the Surface Pro 3, if we go down to the technical specifications of the equipment, it indicates that it runs Windows 8.1 Pro. On both pages we find references to the Windows 10 free update So if you plan to buy a Surface from Spain, we advise you to wait a bit and buy it already with Windows 10 pre-installed. Unless you don't like Windows 10, for users with this opinion we already did an article explaining how to get back from Windows 10 to Windows 8.1.
It is on Microsoft's American website where they already appear so much Surface 3 as Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 as the operating system. As you can see on the corresponding purchase pages, Surface 3 arrives with the Windows 10 Home Edition version, while the productive model, Surface Pro 3 does it with the Windows 10 Pro version. This was also an expected move, since Surface 3 ran Windows 8.1 Home Edition as standard and Surface Pro 3 arrived from its first hour with Windows 8.1 Pro. It is one more way to distinguish the two products, on the one hand Surface 3 is thought as a versatile kit for the home; and on the other, although Surface Pro 3 can do many things, its main area is the productive one.
Surface Pro 3 with Intel Core i7 and 128 GB, sold out
In another vein, the tablet version Surface Pro 3 with Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB internal storage has disappeared from the Microsoft online store. You will remember that this variant was put on sale a little over a month ago, at the end of last June, and it allowed users to sacrifice storage space to have better performance thanks to including the most powerful processor of the three available. In fact, its price was $ 1.299, the same as the Surface Pro 3 with Intel Core i5, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB. Apparently, it is not easy to find in other stores, where is exhausted. Microsoft has already announced that they are working to bring back this variant So it all seems to be the consequence of a greater demand from consumers than they had anticipated in Redmond, which has left them out of stock.
