Microsoft Surface Book 2 support comes to an end
Today marks a significant milestone for Microsoft Surface Book 2 owners, as Microsoft officially ends its support for the second-generation Surface Book. This development means that users of this distinctive laptop-tablet hybrid will no longer receive firmware and driver updates.
Back in November 2017, Microsoft introduced the Surface Book 2, captivating tech enthusiasts with its unique design and focus on upgraded hardware and a larger display.
The device offered two variants: the original 13-inch form factor and an exciting new 15-inch model, catering to users who sought more power and display freedom.
Will Surface Book 2 still get the Windows updates?
As Microsoft ends support for the Surface Book 2, it's important to note that this does not render the device obsolete. Users can still expect to receive Windows updates like the Moment 3 update and new features the OS has to offer, but they should not anticipate any new drivers or firmware releases from Microsoft.
Notably, the Surface Book 2 remains one of the oldest Surface devices to officially support Windows 11, providing a continuous stream of new capabilities and experiences for its users.
Surface Book 2's legacy
Equipped with Intel's eighth-generation Core processors, the Surface Book 2 showcased improved performance across the board. While the entry-level models lacked a dedicated graphics card, users looking for gaming or resource-intensive capabilities could opt for higher-priced configurations, featuring the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 in the larger model.
The Surface Book 2 received praise from customers and reviewers alike for its well-balanced features and notable enhancements. It boasted improved ports, better thermal management, snappier performance, and a larger display, all contributing to an enhanced user experience.

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
