    New Microsoft surface pro was set up with wrong username, not linked to my microsoft accoutn


    Bought a surface pro. In setting it up, somehow the username on the computer is wrong, and does not seem to be linked to my newly activated microsoft account. It will not accept any of the passwords that I have changed in the account.


    I can't log in, I can't reboot, and all of the suggestions using letters the windows button, just place a bunch of letters in the password box which sends me to the instructions to change my password, yet again.


    How can I get on this thing as set it up the right way?


    Thank you.

    :)

    Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro Gets Priced

    The Asus Eee Slate EP121 Core i5 based Windows 7 tablet and Samsung Series 7 Windows 7 (Core i5) tablet series pricing were slightly more expensive then the Microsoft Surface Pro and other Windows 8 Pro tablets. So a price break is already there.

    People suggesting The Microsoft Surface Pro and other Windows 8 Pro tablets should be cheaper seem to think or suggest that products like this never existed before or are unprecedented when they are in fact only the latest generation.

    Or perhaps you are confusing them with cheaper less powerful ARM based tablets,…

    This statement isn’t completely accurate or possibly outright wrong. You are likely confusing the Windows RT based Microsoft Surface tablet with the as of yet unreleased Surface Pro Windows 8 Pro tablet.

    The average Windows 8 Pro 64bit install footprint is likely greater then 16GB. The Windows 8 Pro 32bit install footprint may fit into a 16GB envelope but I don’t think OEMs will choose to go that route. However, if the Microsoft Surface Pro is anything like the Asus Eee Slate EP121 Core i5 based tablet PC then the installed mSATA SSD is user upgradeable. I can upgrade the default OEM 64GB mSATA SSD on my Asus model to ~240GB / ~256GB or greater. I can also upgrade the Bluetooth / WiFi module to support IEEE 802.11ac,….

    Microsoft Surface with Windows 8 Pro Gets Priced

    All of this doesn't matter what so ever. The fact is Windows 8 tablets are priced way too high. People are going to by the iPad long before they ever buy these simply because of price point. Microsoft had a great idea to have the same UI across all of their devices, but they are dead in the water due to price.
