Refurbished Surface Book compatible with Windows 10 VR?

I just purchased (but haven't opened) a Surface Book (Core i5, 128GB) directly from Microsoft. I just saw the WinHEC announcements regarding the minimum specs for future VR headsets.

Does my refurbished Surface Book meet the minimum requirements for future VR headsets, or am I better off getting another more powerful computer? I'd prefer to keep it, but I don't want to have to get ANOTHER computer in the future for the purpose of using
a Windows 10 VR headset. Thank you.

virtual reality powered by the 950 and 950xl

Hello Smash13,

I am interested in buying a VR headset. I have an understanding that in order to use VR headset with any phone, it requires pairing. For instance in order to use VR headset with Android phones, it needs to be paired by scanning a bar code (using Google Cardboard
Application) which you get with the VR headset.

Can somebody explain me the process that needs to be followed to pair a Windows Phone with the VR headset. because without pairing i dont think the buttons on the VR headset will be able to control my phone.

Is there an app that needs to be used, if there is, what is that application and the process to pair VR Headset with Lumia 950XL ?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards,

Naasir
